Professor Super Grover's School for Superheroes: Zoe and Rosita appear. A great new school is about to start today on Sesame Street. This is a school for superheroes. Grover rings the bell and everyone gathers in class. Super Grover is dressed like a professor.
He is so excited because he always wanted a school for superheroes and at last his dream has come true. Professor Grover sees Gabi and Luis and thinks they're coming for superhero school. But they have packages to deliver. Professor Super Grover thinks learning to harness superpowers can come in very handy.
Professor Super Grover says looks like everybody is here and good morning. Zoe, Rosita and the kids also answer him and they are ready to begin. Grover starts the lesson, but he does not know what to do and cannot find his notes. Zoe notes that sometimes teachers want everyone to say their name. So they know who's there.
Grover explains that is just what he was about to suggest only in superhero school they will all need a new super name. This is something special about who they are and the superhero that they wish to be. Rosita loves to play her guitar so her name is "Super Guitar Girl". Zoe gets a dance-related name, Super Tutu, because she loves dance.
Other kids take names like "super propeller head, super construction worker, super ponytail". They pick a superhero name for themselves too good then they are ready to move on. Professor Super Grover has a hard time remembering what they to do next.
Rosita plays her guitar and says they can say the alphabet. According to Zoe, this idea is great because they might run into a letter that's in trouble and needs their help. Grover tells that superheroes do not just say the alphabet, they sing the alphabet and dance with it. Super alphabet music starts playing. Super Grover dances and they all sing the alphabet together.
Grover thinks with his super-brain, but still can't remember what to do next. Zoe and Rosita want to learn animal sounds. So that way if they hear one in trouble, they'll know what kind of animal it is and they can help them. It is not in the syllabus but they are in luck because Grover just has his trusty "animal in distress identification kit".
Now can superheroes tell what kind of animal is in trouble? Grover turns on the kit and plays an animal sound. Zoe thinks it's a cat. Very good, that is indeed a cat in a quandary or perhaps on a hot tin roof. Then the kids know that the second animal voice belongs to a monkey. The third sound is the sound of a chicken. Hearing this sound, Super Chicken comes there.
Grover explains that a real chicken isn't in trouble, and it's just about the lesson. Super Chicken leaves angry, and now they know how an angry chicken sounds. They start another lesson. First there is one important word every superhero needs to know and that word is help. But rather than just tell they about it, Grover shall now give they a dramatic presentation. He starts shouting the word help and asks the others to join him. The whole class and he yells "help".
Gabi and Luis heard they shout help and ran right over. Zoe and Rosita say they're fine, just learning an important superhero word. Professor Super Grover thinks Gabi and Luis came so fast and they would make terrific superheroes. Are they sure they do not wish to matriculate? But they still have packages to deliver and they go away.
Grover and the students hear some noises. They see an H on the top of a tree and an elephant running on the ground. They should ask the elephant some questions to find out what's going on.
Rosita asks the elephant why is he so angry. That's a good question, the elephant is not angry and he didn't mean to scare that poor little h up there either. The elephant is just trying to scratch an itch on his back and he can't seem to reach it and it's so so itchy.
This sounds like a job for a bunch of superheroes. They scratch the elephant's back and that really works. The relieved elephant thanks the superheroes and leaves. So the letter H, afraid of the elephant, jumps down from the tree.
The letter H tells that each of them is a real hero. Zoe thinks they never could have done it without Professor Super Grover. Grover is proud and finally announces that they are all official superheroes. So he have prepared a little graduation speech. Rosita ve Zoe thinks they have a great time being a superhero but now they want to get back dancing and playing guitar. Grover is now alone in his graduation speech.
Song: Some kids sing "At School" about school.
"there's lots of ways that you can travel to school
they're all of them fine they're all of them cool
now my friend Jamal always rides a bus
and Liz takes the train to get to school with us
my man Sam always rides his bike
and i can walk the hallway if i like
at school
some schools are big and some are small
some things are the same in any school at all
you can travel far and you can travel wide
you always find a classroom there inside
at school
at school you meet kids who become your friends
see them every morning till the school day end
that's every school no matter where you turn
you're gonna have a teacher and you're gonna learn
at school
no matter how your teacher looks
she'll teach you stuff she's gonna read you books
your teacher is smart your teacher is cool
he'll teach you what he learned when he went to school
you'll draw pretty pictures hang them on the wall
play with blocks and build a tower so tall
you'll dance and you'll sing as fine as you please
and learn all your numbers and your abc's
at school
then you play outside in the old playground
jump rope play ball or just goof around
then eat your lunch in a great big space
it's called a cafeteria busy old place
at school
at school you'll learn and you'll have fun
and when the last bell rings
that means school is done."

where you can hop on a truck
or you can pedal a bike
or just walking you know
