  Now,

  did

  you
• 6:46
  see
• 6:47
  things
• 6:47
  or

• 6:49
  going
• 6:49
  through
• 6:50
  the
• 6:50
  story,
• 6:51
  narrating,
• 6:51
  did
• 6:52
  you
• 6:52
  notice
• 6:53
  things
• 6:53
  in
• 6:53
  the
• 6:54
  story
• 6:54
  that
• 6:54
  reflected
• 6:55
  something
• 6:55
  about
• 6:56
  your
• 6:56
  life
• 6:57
  and
• 6:57
  what's
• 6:57
  happening
• 6:58
  in
• 6:58
  your
• 6:58
  life?
• 6:59
  Yes.
• 7:00
  So
• 7:00
  what

  some
• 7:01
  of
• 7:01
  those
• 7:01
  things

  that
• 7:02
  you
• 7:02
  saw
• 7:02
  or
• 7:03
  heard?
• 7:03
  On
• 7:04
  my
• 7:04
  first
• 7:04
  day,
• 7:05
  I
• 7:05
  think
• 7:06
  my
• 7:06
  sister
• 7:07
  waited
• 7:07
  for
• 7:07
  me
• 7:08
  and
• 7:09
  she
• 7:09
  actually
• 7:09
  picked
• 7:09
  me
• 7:10
  up
• 7:10
  and
• 7:10
  she
• 7:11
  actually
• 7:11
  asked
• 7:12
  those
• 7:13
  exact
• 7:13
  words.
• 7:14
  Those
• 7:14
  exact.
• 7:15
  So
• 7:16
  Cooper's
• 7:16
  talking
• 7:17
  about
• 7:18
  his
• 7:18
  sister
• 7:18
  Bailey.
• 7:19
  Bailey
• 7:19
  has
• 7:20
  been
• 7:20
  one
• 7:20
  of
• 7:20
  the
• 7:21
  narrators
• 7:21
  of
• 7:21
  some
• 7:21
  of
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  stories
• 7:23
  in
• 7:23
  the
• 7:23
  Adventures
• 7:24
  of
• 7:24
  Caboose,
• 7:24
  the
• 7:24
  Rocky
• 7:25
  Mountain
• 7:25
  Bear.
• 7:26
  So
• 7:26
  with
• 7:26
  that
• 7:26
  in
• 7:27
  mind,
• 7:27
  Cooper,
• 7:28
  you
• 7:29
  started
• 7:29
  a
• 7:29
  new
• 7:30
  school
• 7:30
  year.
• 7:31
  Just
• 7:31
  started
• 7:31
  a
• 7:31
  new
• 7:32
  school
• 7:32
  year.
• 7:33
  So
• 7:33
  what.
• 7:34
  What
• 7:34
  are
• 7:34
  you
• 7:34
  liking
• 7:34
  about
• 7:35
  school
• 7:35
  so
• 7:35
  far?
• 7:36
  I'm
• 7:36
  thinking
• 7:37
  that
• 7:37
  we
• 7:37
  can
• 7:37
  do
• 7:38
  more
• 7:38
  gym
• 7:38
  activities,
• 7:40
  and
• 7:40
  later
• 7:41
  on
• 7:41
  in
• 7:41
  the
• 7:41
  year,
• 7:42
  we
• 7:42
  can
• 7:42
  do
• 7:43
  electronics,
• 7:44
  so
• 7:44
  we
• 7:45
  can
• 7:45
  build
• 7:46
  things
• 7:46
  like
• 7:47
  reboot
• 7:48
  a
• 7:48
  calculator
• 7:49
  with
• 7:49
  no
• 7:50
  battery,
• 7:50
  or
• 7:51
  you
• 7:51
  can
• 7:51
  build.
• 7:52
  A
• 7:52
  calculator
• 7:52
  with
• 7:52
  no
• 7:53
  batteries?
• 7:53
  Yeah,
• 7:54
  but
• 7:54
  that's
• 7:54
  later
• 7:54
  on
• 7:55
  once
• 7:55
  we
• 7:55
  learn
• 7:56
  electricians.
• 7:57
  That
• 7:57
  sounds
• 7:57
  pretty
• 7:57
  darn
• 7:58
  exciting.
• 7:59
  And
• 8:00
  is
• 8:00
  there
• 8:00
  any
• 8:00
  other
• 8:01
  new
• 8:01
  things
• 8:01
  that
• 8:01
  you're
• 8:02
  learning
• 8:02
  about
• 8:02
  this
• 8:02
  year
• 8:03
  that
• 8:03
  you've
• 8:03
  never
• 8:03
  done
• 8:04
  before
• 8:04
  at
• 8:04
  school?
• 8:05
  Not
• 8:05
  really
• 8:05
  yet.
• 8:06
  Not
• 8:07
  yet.
• 8:07
  Yeah.
• 8:09
  So
• 8:09
  just
• 8:09
  until
• 8:10
  you
• 8:10
  get
• 8:10
  to
• 8:10

  That's

  You're

  Okay,

  there
• 8:47
  anything
• 8:47
  you're
• 8:47
  doing
• 8:48
  that's
• 8:48
  a
• 8:48
  challenge
• 8:49
  this
• 8:49
  year?
• 8:50
  Not
• 8:50
  really
• 8:50
  yet.
• 8:51
  It's
• 8:52
  hard.
• 8:53
  And
• 8:55
  now
• 8:55
  you
• 8:55
  started
• 8:56
  basketball
• 8:57
  this
• 8:57
  year?
• 8:58
  I
• 8:58
  did.
• 8:58
  And
• 8:58
  my
• 8:59
  first
• 8:59
  practice
• 9:00
  was
• 9:00
  on
• 9:00
  Monday.
• 9:01
  Was
• 9:01
  on
• 9:01
  Monday.
• 9:02
  And
• 9:02
  that's
• 9:02
  something
• 9:03
  that's
• 9:03
  outside
• 9:03
  of
• 9:04
  school.
• 9:04
  Why

  not.
• 9:05
  You
• 9:05
  don't
• 9:05
  have
• 9:05
  basketball?
• 9:07
  I
• 9:07
  have
• 9:08
  basketball
• 9:08
  outside
• 9:09
  school,
• 9:10
  but
• 9:10
  if

  we
• 9:10
  can
• 9:10
  do
• 9:11
  free
• 9:11
  time
• 9:11
  or
• 9:11
  like
• 9:12
  a
• 9:12
  basketball
• 9:12
  lesson,
• 9:13
  then
• 9:13
  I
• 9:13
  can
• 9:14
  play
• 9:14
  basketball
• 9:14
  during
• 9:15
  gym.
• 9:16
  Where
• 9:16
  you
• 9:16
  are.
• 9:16
  Right
• 9:17
  on
• 9:17
  school.
• 9:18
  And
• 9:18
  you
• 9:18
  used
• 9:18
  to
• 9:18
  have
• 9:19
  a

  wall
• 9:24
  hoops
• 9:24
  there?
• 9:25
  There
• 9:25
  was,
• 9:26

  rarely
• 9:27
  go
• 9:27
  down
• 9:27
  into
• 9:27
  the

  So

  much
• 9:31
  basketball
• 9:32
  at
