COLD OPEN | What's the Word on the Street?: Greeting |
 |
SCENE | Papa Bear joins Baby Bear as they reach the Storybook Community Pre-School, where Papa Bear will be a parent volunteer for the day. They meet Baby Bear's teacher, Ms. Goodwitch (Jane Krakowski), whom Papa Bear refers to as "Ms. G-Dubs" and greets with a big bear hug. Baby Bear points out that's not how they greet people in school. They all go inside as class begins. |
  |
SCENE cont'd | Ms. Goodwich and the class welcome Papa Bear with their class welcome song. Next, it's time to talk about the weather. While the class raises their hands, Papa Bear boisterously tells the class to just shout out their answers, while plugging Baby Bear's skills. His son tries getting him to be quieter and Ms. Goodwitch explains how raising hands works. Baby Bear gets his turn, but Papa Bear shouts out his praise for him. The kids all head to the art tables to draw clouds and Papa Bear gives "Ms. G-Dubs" another bear hug. |
  |
SCENE cont'd | As Baby Bear draws his picture, Goldilocks takes his silver crayon and refuses to give it back. Papa Bear intervenes to solve the problem "the bear way": growling at her, making her run off crying. Ms. Goodwitch comes by to inform Papa Bear about what he did wrong and helps Baby Bear and Goldilocks see that taking turns is the solution. Papa Bear gives "Ms. G-Dubs" yet another bear hug for such a good idea. |
  |
SCENE cont'd | Papa Bear is instructed to help the kids with their snacks, so he begins ravenously devouring them (scavenging for food like a bear would). Baby Bear then learns Papa Bear doesn't know school rules because when he was young, bears didn't go to school; they learned everything from the woods. Ms. Goodwitch and the students sing to him, explaining how the woods and school are different ("There's No Growling in Preschool"). Papa Bear thinks he should leave, until they convince him to stay, assuring him he can learn the rules. Plus, they need somebody to read them their favorite story - "The Three Bears." |
