[Where are Dora and Boots going? It looks like they're going to school since they both have backpacks. But still, let's find out!]
"Boots and I are on our way to school!"
She has a question: "Do YOU like to go to school?"
What do you think? Feel free to tell them!
"My music teacher ALWAYS sings
"That's my FAVORITE school song!"
All of a sudden, they hear a voice… "Hola, hola,
hello, hello!" They couldn't believe what they just heard!
"Listen!" said Boots. (What a great day)
"Someone's singing my favorite school song!" (for school, you know!)
hello, hello!" (There's a woman on a bike singing it!)
let's go, go, GOOOOO!!!" (Who is that anyway?)
Do YOU see who's singing the song?
"It's a lady on a bike!" said Dora. Could that be…
…Boots' music teacher? He KNEW who it was! "OOH-OOH-AAH-AAH!!!"
"That's my music teacher!"
So it IS his music teacher!
"¡HOLA, MAESTRA!" they shouted so she can hear.
She heard them. "¡HOLA!" she said.
She stops and gets off her bike.
"¡Hola, Dora! ¡Mucho gusto!" she sang.
"I love that song, too, Boots!"
"Do you want to sing the song with me?" she offered.
How about you? "Will you sing the 'Hola, Hola' song with us?"
Do YOU want to sing, too?
Again! Say, "Hola, hola"!
Time to get started, let's go, go, GOOOOO!!!
(school bell rings in distance)
"I have to get to school before the children do!"
Hurry! Hurry! Off she goes!
(chain breaks) YIKES! Now THAT'S a BIG problem!
"AYE-YI-YI!!!" cried Maestra.
Boots found out the chain broke! "UH-OH!!!"
Dora tells her the bad news. "Maestra,
your bicycle is BROKEN!" said Dora to Maestra.
"And I have to get to school in a HURRY!"
Now Maestra has to figure out the quickest way
a Map…" she said to herself. A map?!
Did she say she needs a map?!
Do YOU know someone who has a map?
HEY! Of course, Dora and Boots have a map! And there he is!
"Maestra!" Dora calls, telling her they have a friend that is a map.
when we don't know which way to go?"
(The Map, of course! And they just showed Maestra.)
to find the quickest way to school?
Great job! And… (SPRIIIIIING…!) …up he goes!
¡Rápido! Let's see what he says…!
Map is here and he's ready for work! And it looks like he's a musical school map today! "Dora, Boots, and La Maestra have to get to school in a HURRY!"
Uh-oh! (bell rings from afar)
"JEEPERS! There's the bell!" he said. Now listen carefully…
We have to go through the town...
(Each time a note plays, a dotted line forms. The notes can be heard in the key of G-major.)
And that’s how we get to the school (la escuela)!
So remember: Town, Mountain, School!
So you tell Dora: First we go to the town.
"Where do we go first?" Tell her!
"But I don’t SEE the town!" said Boots.
She's going to climb that tree
Boots is impressed! "WOW!
My teacher can climb up trees!"
That's the THIRD bell!" she said. (First was before Maestra gets on her bike and it breaks and the second was during the Map segment)
I need to get to the school before the children arrive!"
"DORA! We NEED to get to the town FAST!"
"Do you see something that can take us to the town FAST?"
"Right! The bus can take us to the town!"
Autobús, Autobús, me llamo Autobús! Autobús, Autobús, me llamo Autobús!
But we have to tell the bus to stop.
Thanks for saying, "pare"!
ask him if he can take us to the town." Boots suggested.
¿Nos puede llevar el pueblo?"
"I have SO MANY instruments to carry!
If ONLY I had a Backpack…"
Did she just say she needs a Backpack?! Wait a minute! WE know who has a backpack!
"Maestra! I have a backpack!"
"¡Una mochila! ¡Que bien!"
"Can she hold my instruments?"
Of course she can! "¡Sí, por su puesto!"
Instead of saying it normally… "Yum-yum-yum-yum-yum…
¡DELICIOSO!" …she sings it!
Maestra LOVED that! "¡EXCELENTE, MOCHILA!"
(honking)
"BEEP-BEEP!!!" Autobús can't wait much longer!
"VRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOM!!!!!"
"WHOA! We've got to HURRY!"
Maestra has an idea! "I know a song that will
"The Wheels on the Bus song!"
So does Dora! "Let's sing it!"
"The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round"?
Will you sing it with them?
So instead of saying "the wheels",
Here we go! (Remember to use the Spanish words!)
Las llantas on the bus go
round and round! Round and round, round and round!
Las llantas on the bus go
GREAT! Now we have to help El Autobús honk his horn!
We'll sing "The horn on the bus goes, 'beep-beep-beep'"!
NOW let's sing! (Remember to use that Spanish word!)
La bocina on the bus goes,
"beep-beep-beep!" Beep-beep-beep! Beep-beep-beep!
La bocina on the bus goes,
..all through the town!
(song ends)
(claps for the viewer) Great work!
"We made it through the traffic!"
The Fiesta Trio riding a skateboard.
(school bell rings) Uh-oh! Now it's the FOURTH bell!
"Listen! That's the school bell!"
"CHICOS! WE HAVE TO HURRY!!!
Up he goes again! (SPRIIIIIING…!)
Map is back! "We went through the town, check! Where do we go next?"
So you tell Dora: Next, we go to the mountain!
"Mountain, right! Musical Mountain!"
"I see THREE mountains!" said Boots, but only ONE has to be Musical Mountain.
which one is Musical Mountain!
Maestra knows! "Musical Mountain
(plays ascending scale in G-major)
Which one's Musical Mountain?
The second one! "¡Sí, alli esta!"
We need to get over Musical Mountain,
Who can give us a ride over the mountain fast?
Boots introduces Maestra to Azul. "That's our friend, Azul!"
"SURE! But first, I have to put my cars in the right order. They need to go from biggest to smallest."
"I need YOUR help to put the train cars from
Do you see the biggest car?
Now which one's the biggest car?
Now which one's the biggest car?
NOW which one's the biggest car?
And which one is the smallest car?
You did it! Now Azul is ready to go!
Now Azul can give us a ride!"
"Come on! Let's hurry to school!"
"To climb Musical Mountain,
we need to sing the numbers!"
sing with us! (Note: Notice any errors on Dora's backpack?)
"Count backwards with me!"
Good job! But they're not done yet...
Oh no! Here comes another train!
Dora, Boots, and La Maestra need Azul to slow down! If not, he will bump into the other train!
Big Yellow Train passing by.
We made it over Musical Mountain!
(FIFTH school bell ringing)
we have to hurry so I can get to school in time to sing the
There he is! Say it so he can spring!
(SPRIIIIIING…!) Let's help them find out where to go next!
We went through the town, check! We rode over the mountain, check! So where do we go next?
So you tell Dora: Next we go to the school!
Wait a minute! Those blue morpho butterflies are blocking it!
We need to find the school,
THERE we go! The butterflies are gone! NOW do you see la escuela, the school?
But look, there's the school bus!
We've GOT to get to the school before the children!
"But HOW are we going to get through
trees!" (Those exist! But WHERE can they find one?)
THERE's a zip-cord! "Hey!
"¡HOLA, AMIGOS!" called Diego.
and we'll get to the school
But Diego gives a warning. "Uh-oh! We have to watch out for the animals in the trees!" (Like what?)
"¡Culebras!" (Oooh, los serpientes! Snakes!)
We have to warn the snakes that we're coming!
Can you say, "culebras"?
(Or can you say, "serpientes"?)
"NOW let's sing!" (But WHAT song should they use?)
Suddenly, they had an idea: they can sing a song to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus" like they sang through the town with Autobús. "The Snakes in the Trees," but instead of "snakes," they'll say, "culebras".
To the tune of The Wheels on the Bus: Las culebras in the trees go "hiss hiss hiss"!
"Hiss hiss hiss", "hiss hiss, hiss"!
Las culebras in the trees go "Hiss, hiss, hiss", all through
We made it past the snakes! Great singing!
We have to warn the abejas that we're coming!
Now, like culebras, they're going to sing, "The Bees in the Trees go, 'buzz-buzz-buzz!' But instead of bees, they'll use the Spanish word! Ready? Let's sing!
Las abejas in the trees go, "buzz-buzz-buzz"
"Buzz-buzz-buzz", "Buzz-buzz-buzz"
Las abejas in the trees go "buzz-buzz-buzz", all
We got past the bees! Thanks for helping!
"There's the schoolhouse!"
"Quick! We have to run inside and set up the instruments before the children come in!"
(rustling)
Wait a minute! What was THAT?!
"That sounds like Swiper!"
"THAT sneaky fox!" [snaps fingers]
(
Swiper!)
"He’ll try to swipe La Maestra's
guitarra!"
(
Swiper!)
(We're all looking for Swiper!) THERE he is!
(
Swiper!)
(Let's show her how to stop him!)
(So she will know the trick!) Where'd he go?!
(
Swiper!)
(As soon as Swiper charges,...) [ZOOP!]
Uh-oh! He's coming out!
(Let's all say one thing!)
Great! He finally stopped!
Huh, we should have guessed!
"Now we can set up the instruments
"The instruments?!" (What's wrong?)
"THE INSTRUMENTS?!?!" (He thinks they lost them!)
"WHERE ARE THE INSTRUMENTS?!?!?!" (He's about to freak out, until…)
(…Dora JUST remembered!)
"WHERE did we put La Maestra's instruments?" Do YOU remember?
"Will you check my Backpack to find La Maestra's instruments?" Will you?
You have to say, "Backpack!"
"Hola, chicos!" says Backpack. "Rapido! We need all of Maestra's instruments!"
¿Donde esta los instrumentos? (Where are the instruments?)
"Yum-yum-yum-yum-yum… ¡DELICIOSO!"
The children are arriving!
"Let's sing to them while they arrive!"
"Boots, YOU can lead the band!" suggested Maestra.
Are YOU ready to sing the 'Hola, Hola' song?
All right! "Sing after ME!"
What a great day for school,
YOU for helping me get to school
The Fiesta Trio on pogo sticks.
WE DID IT! (This calls for ANOTHER song!)
Everyone is dancing! Come on!
We did it! We did it! We did it!
(Map dances from Backpack's side pocket)
We all rode on a zip-cord!
And I saw my teacher climb!
We did it, we did it! We did it, we did it!
We both helped La Maestra spin "las llantas" through the town!
and now we're gettin' DOWN!
"We had such a FUN trip today!
What was YOUR favorite part of the trip?"
Now tell them! WHAT part of the trip did YOU like the best?
Of course… "I liked that, too!" What do THEY like about today's trip? (Maybe it's the songs! Let's find out…)
Boots' favorite part was singing his FAVORITE song, which happens to be…
Dora's favorite part was singing…
"Las llantas on the bus go round and round, ALL through the TOWN!"
Yep! They really liked the songs!
"We couldn't have done it without you!"
