not about how fast you go it's more how

crane write down what you want to do and

you will have a

plan you can do most anything if you

have a plan deliver today's mail

how straight you

fly you can't do most anything if you

have a plan what you mean I could get a

vacation if you have a plan you can you

can fly to cooc like a rocket through

the sky

it's not about how fast you go it's more

how straight you

fly get yourself some paper grab

yourself a

cran write down what you want to do and

you will have a plan surely as you won't

find snow in the middle of July it's not

about how fast you go it's more how

straight you fly

[Music]

thanks a lot Sam that was great I feel

so good out here in the open that I

think we'll color the picture we drew

right

here come on boys and girls if you don't

already have them go get your crayons

markers or colored pencils and let's get

started can we join you pey that's a

good idea we have our drawings sure

fellas

okay I'm going to start by using my

yellow crayon to color the first

chick I wonder what color you're going

to

choose whatever it is I'll bet you it's

a great

color

there one baby chick

now I'll color the other

one I think baby chicks are very

cute aren't they boys and girls I wonder

how many of you out there like to draw

birds maybe you can write to papy and

and let me know if birds are your

favorite IC to draw and

color yeah that looks

good A nice Sunshine

yellow very nice now I think I'll do the

mama mama

hen's head A nice bright yellow

also

oops don't worry if you break your CR

cran see how I'm using the side of my

cray when I break a cray you can use any

portion of the cray so don't worry if

you break a cray it's not a

problem there we

go here's a nice color for the the

mamaan oh look at that very nice

this color is called magenta can you say

magenta it's a pretty

color at

that very

nice do you know what a mama hand sounds

like I think it sounds like this

oh dear papy's being a little silly here

when he

colors all

righty and I think I'll just color in

the top of the

that notice I'm leaving a little white

dot just

to make that area look very shiny you

see that you see that white dot I'm

leaving one two three white dots

very

nice now I'm going to color

in the hands

[Music]

be

and

be there we

go okay

all right that looks very

nice when you're finish coloring your

mama and her baby

chicks you can add your own ideas to the

picture what did you say you think a

Barn's a good idea great and birds in

the sky another great idea those are all

good ideas keep using your imagination

I'm going to put a fence right here

yes look at that this is this is the

time where you can add your own ideas

that's right look at that I think I'll

just put a board across there like that

whoops there we go and we just indicate

some wood like that and another board

going behind the little chicks just like

so and continue that over there like

that and and I think I'll

just show

some show some dirt underneath the

chicken and the little baby chicks and

maybe just a

little

straw and twigs and hay or what have you

on the bottom here we'll just

add some green on the top of that like

that

yes and then let's just add a cloud

that's a good

idea just like that there we go three

colorful chicks and a mama chick very

nice hey let's see yours fellas what do
