[THEME SONG BEGINS]


>>RACHEL: Welcome back to Chompers! Your morning and night tooth brushing show. 


Start brushing on the top of your mouth, and brush the inside, outside, and chewing side of each tooth.


>> KIDS: 3, 2, 1 brush!


[THEME SONG ENDS]


>>RACHEL: It’s Everybody Week, and tonight we’re playing I Spy with things that make the world a bit more accessible. 


Ready for your first one? 


My friend is sitting in a chair that has wheels, two small ones in front and two large wheels on the back. 


[RATTLING OF WHEELS]


>>RACHEL: She pushes the large back wheels with her arms and it makes the chair move forwards, backwards, she can even do a spin move! 


[CARTOON SPINNING WHISTLE]

[MUSIC BEGINS]


>>RACHEL: Switch your brushing to the other side of the top of your mouth…


[SWITCH BELL]


>>RACHEL: and don’t forget the molars in the way back. 


So, what do I spy? Shout it out. 


>>GROUP: A wheelchair! 


>>RACHEL: A wheelchair! 


Wheelchairs help people move around. 


[CARTOON ZOOM!]


>>RACHEL: Some wheelchairs are metal, with big back wheels that people push forward with their hands while they’re sitting.


[WHEELCHAIR RATTLE]


>>RACHEL: If someone uses a wheelchair, it might mean they have trouble walking. But not always! All kinds of people use all types of wheelchairs to help them move around. 


[MUSIC ENDS]


Switch your brushing to the bottom of your mouth…


[SWITCH BELL]


>>RACHEL: -and brush your front teeth too. 


Ready for your next I Spy? 


[CLASSROOM AMBIANCE]


>>RACHEL: I see a classroom full of students doing an art project. All the kids are working together as the teacher walks around the room.


And I see another grown up sitting next to one student, and they are drawing a line together. It looks like this grown up is there to help this student.  


[MUSIC BEGINS]


>>RACHEL: Switch your brushing to the other side of the bottom of your mouth…


[SWITCH BELL] 


>>RACHEL: -and keep brushing.


So, who is this other grown up in the class? Who do I spy?


>>GROUP: a Paraprofessional! 


>>RACHEL: A Paraprofessional! 


>>KID: HUH?


>>RACHEL: A paraprofessional is a grown up, like a teacher, who works one on one with a student who learns differently. 


>>KID: OH!


>>RACHEL: Some people might need extra help to complete a project or understand a lesson. A paraprofessional will often work with one student for their whole day to make sure they get the help they need. 


[MUSIC ENDS]
