Barney Goes to School [VHS]
Is your toddler nervous about starting kindergarten or preschool? Then this is the video to watch. One Saturday, Barney's friend Tina wishes she could take Barney to school with her, to show him all the fun things she learns every day. And suddenly, with a little help from Barney, she's at school! Together, Tina and her friends take Barney through the daily school routine--from greeting to exercising, reading the calendar, checking the weather, and then exploring the room. The children take Barney around the room to each learning center and show him what they do there. Children's demonstrations are punctuated with songs kids can sing along to. School looks like a lot of fun to Barney by the end of the day. Watching this a time or two should take the fear out of school, and will also help children know what to expect in their classroom environment and routine.--Elisabeth Keating
