Episode 1751

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird sits at Hooper's Store coloring as Mr. Hooper and Maria wish Kathy a good day at school. Big Bird feels a bit left out that he's not old enough to go to school like the other kids, but Kathy says it's visitors' day and he can come along. This is too much of a surprise for Big Bird, who begins flip-flopping on whether to go as he talks it over with Mr. Hooper and Maria. The two help him get ready by quickly filling a school bag with supplies and an apple for the teacher, and Maria walks him over to the bus stop where Kathy and her mother are waiting. Big Bird asks Maria to wait at the bus stop when he comes back before following Kathy onto the bus.

 	SCENE 3 	Mrs. Merkel quizzes the students on insects, but Big Bird tries to answer her questions by yelling. Mrs. Merkel informs him that it's easier if he were to raise his hand (or wing, in this case) and wait to be called on.
