[Buster snoring]
Hey, Buster! Wake up!
!
Anchorage! The cotton gin!
Huh?
- Oh, sorry. [chuckles]
I was dreaming I was in class.
- Well, the bell is about to ring.
So, we should probably go in.
- [yawns]
Okay.
- Buster, are you all right?
- No-- I could barely sleep last night.
I felt really worried about going to school!
- I understand.
Nothing seems normal.
Just last night, I heard my parents talking.
Since the pandemic started, there aren't as many parties,
so my dad's catering business hasn't been doing well.
He may actually have to take a second job!
[stomach growling]
- What was that?
- Oh, my stomach.
When I feel like this, I get a stomachache.
- Want half of my banana?
- Um, no, thanks.
- Okay!
FRANCINE: Hey, guys.
ARTHUR: Hey, Francine.
BUSTER: Nice shades!
[whispering]: Are you going to school undercover?
I'm wearing them because I have a headache.
I didn't sleep well last night.
Yeah, us, too.
Yeah, I keep worrying
about what's going to happen to the planet
because of climate change.
It's scary!
I'm nervous about going to school.
What if we all get COVID?
- And I'm worried about whether my dad's
going to lose his job.
So, what should we do?
[bike bell rings]
[humming]
Good morning, children!
Wait, why aren't you all in class?
We're just sitting here for a minute.
We're all feeling kind of nervous about different stuff.
Sounds to me like you're all feeling anxious and worried.
I know you all have a lot on your minds these days,
so I'm not surprised.
[chuckling]: I've been feeling a bit anxious myself.
- What can we do about it?
- Take a moment to breathe.
[inhales deeply]
In...
[exhales deeply]
And out.
[all inhale deeply]
In...
And out.
[all exhale and sigh]
Exercise can help, too.
Perhaps a long walk in nature. [lock clicks]
But the most important thing
is doing what you're already doing:
talking to one another.
Maybe you could have a regular check-in
to see how you're all doing.
If you like, I can be a part of that, too.
FRANCINE: Yeah! BUSTER: I'd really like that!
Excellent!
Because we're all in this together.
And together, we'll get through it.
Maybe we can talk more about this in class.
Let's all go in, shall we?
FRANCINE: Okay, sounds good.
BUSTER: Come on, Arthur! ARTHUR: Let's go!
- [yelps]: The math quizzes!
We are living through some difficult times,
but know that it's okay to share
if you're feeling worried or anxious about something.
Lots of us feel this way.
Reach out to a friend, a parent, a counselor,
or even... [clears throat]
...a teacher.
The adults in your life can help you cope with your feelings.
A great way to start
is to talk about how you're feeling.
It can be the first step to feeling better.
All right now, children, time for that quiz.
You're going to love it!
