Picture	Segment	Description
	Intro	My Favorite Sesame Street Moments: Bill Cosby talks about how Sesame Street convinced him that he should be involved with an entertaining children's educational show. A clip from James Earl Jones reciting the alphabet is shown.
	SCENE	Rosita and Zoe welcomes the viewers to Sesame Street and said we are just in time because a new school for superheroes is starting today. Just then, they heard the bell ring and hurry off to class.
	SCENE, cont'd	In the arbor, Grover in his Super Grover and Professor Grover outfit is excited about teaching at a superhero school and tells the viewers that they can join in too. Gabi and Luis suddenly came by with packages and Professor Super Grover asked them if they want to join his superhero school, but they couldn’t attend because they have a lot of packages to deliver. As Rosita, Zoe, and four kids are seated in their desks, Professor Super Grover says good morning to them and they begin class.
	SCENE, cont'd	As Professor Super Grover was about to start off class, he forgets what he needs to do and tries to find his notes. Just then, Zoe raised her hand and says that they can all introduce themselves so they all can get to know each other. Professor Super Grover agrees since he was about to say the same thing, but he wants the students to introduce themselves as their superhero name based on their special skills. As Rosita, Zoe, and the kids show off their special skills, Professor Super Grover gives them each a superhero name based off their skills.
	SCENE, cont'd	As Professor Super Grover tries to remember the next lesson, Rosita suggests that they can say the alphabet and Zoe agrees just in case they run into letter who needs their help. Professor Super Grover agrees, but replies that superheroes sing and dance the alphabet than just saying it. They all join in singing the Alphabet Song.
	SCENE, cont'd	After singing the Alphabet, Rosita asks if they are superheroes now. Professor Super Grover tells them not yet and tries to think of the next lessons. Zoe tells Professor Super Grover that they can learn animal sounds so they can recognize what animal it is that is in trouble. It wasn’t what Professor Super Grover had in mind, but lucky he has his animal-in-distress-identification kit and plays an animal sound on it for his classmates to guess the animal. He plays random animal sounds including a chicken sound that cause Super Chicken to arrive because it thought it heard a chicken in distress. After finding out that it wasn’t, Super Chicken left very angry.
	SCENE, cont'd	Rosita asks if they are superheroes now, but Professor Super Grover replies they are not ready yet. In his next lesson, he teaches the class the word, help, because a superhero needs to know that word. Then he and the class starts yelling the word to better understand it. Hearing the yelling and the word help, Luis and Gabi arrives quickly to see if everyone is ok. After Zoe and Rosita tells them that they were learning a new word, Professor Super Grover is impressed at how quickly Luis and Gabi came over and wonders if they still want to join. However, Gabi and Luis still had to deliver the packages and went off.
	SCENE, cont'd	Rosita and Zoe ask if they are superheroes now, but Professor Super Grover tells that the last thing they need to do is find someone who is in trouble and help them. At that moment, they all heard hopping sound, elephant noise, and someone shouting help. They all investigate and found the letter H up in a tree. Then they saw an elephant dancing around and then left. Rosita ask the letter H why it is up a tree and the letter H replies he was hopping to get away from the huge elephant and won’t come down till it hold.
	SCENE, cont'd	As Professor Super Grover was panicking not knowing what to do, Rosita suggests they ask the elephant some questions to find out what is going on. Professor Super Grover likes the ideas and tries to ask the elephant some super random fact questions, but it didn’t stop the elephant from jumping around. Finally, Rosita asks the elephant why it was angry and the elephant stops to reply that it was trying to scratch an itch on its back. So the kids went over and scratch the elephant’s back. The elephant thanks them and goes off as the letter H hop down from the tree. The letter H thanks them and replies they are heroes, but Zoe replies that it was thanks to Professor Super Grover.
	SCENE, cont'd	Professor Super Grover is proud of his students and tells them that they are all superheroes now. As he recites a graduation speech, Zoe decides to go back to dancing and Rosita goes back to playing her guitar. As they and the kids leave Professor Super Grover, Professor Super Grover is still reciting his speech by himself.
