Bedtime with Mrs.

Honeybee Today,

In the Honeybee neighborhood,

It's bring a honeybee to work day.

That's today?

Yes,

Mr.

Honeybee.

Our little honeybee will be here any moment to come to school with me.

Oh my,

That's right.

I'll pack an extra lunch for our little honeybee today.

Good thinking,

My dear.

I'm so excited to show our little honeybee what it's like to be a student in my class.

All you have to do is close your eyes,

Get cozy,

And listen to the sound of my voice.

Mrs.

Honeybee will be your guide.

Let's begin.

You are here,

Snuggled up in your bed,

In your house in the Honeybee neighborhood.

You enjoy your last few moments of snoozing before your eyes pop open,

Before the alarm has anything to say about it,

And you sit straight up.

You greet this exciting day with enthusiasm.

You can't seem to get the day started fast enough.

You fling open your curtains and see that the sun isn't even fully awake yet.

You rush out the door,

Clutching the strap of your backpack as you hurl it onto your shoulder and walk the short way to us,

Where you see Mr.

Honeybee and I still enjoying our morning tea out on the porch.

My,

Oh my,

Don't you look spiffy,

My little honeybee.

Someone's ready for Bring a Honeybee to Work Day.

You are here just in time to join us for our little morning walk with Harold.

He's going to be so happy to see you before we leave for the day.

We enjoy a peaceful stroll around the block with Harold.

Even a short walk helps all your nerves calm down.

Now you're able to sink into the joy of this moment.

Take a slow,

Deep breath in through your nose.

Feel the coolness of the air coming in through your nose and expanding your chest.

Then slowly breathe all the way out through your mouth as we round the last corner on our way back home.

Melody B opens the front door before we can and she can hardly contain her excitement.

In addition to the biggest smile,

She's also wearing her brand new first day of school outfit because she'll be joining us too.

She has a new scarf and a new backpack.

So,

How do I look?

Like the most studious bee I ever did see,

You are definitely ready for school.

I'm so excited!

Is the backpack too much?

Don't tell anyone,

But it's totally empty.

Your secret is safe with us,

Melody B.

Mr.

Honeybee,

What are you going to do all day without us?

Harold and I will probably go down to the river for some fishing.

Or,

Because we're so excited,

We might just end up watching the clock until it's time to pick you up from school.

Or is it work?

I guess it's both.

Mr.

Honeybee,

If you're going to pick us up from work school,

How are we going to get there?

Are you going to drop us off?

That sounds fun.

Oh,

Mrs.

Honeybee,

You haven't told them yet?

Told them?

Told me?

Told us?

What don't we know?

You're smiling,

So I know it must be good.

Please tell them.

I mean us.

Well,

My little Honeybee and Melody B,

Today we're driving the bus and picking up everyone along the way.

Here it is.

The big yellow school bus has double doors that open up for you and Melody B as their honored guests.

You take big steps up into the bus.

Right foot,

Left foot,

Right foot,

Left foot.

Then you have the bus completely to yourself.

Whichever seat you like is all yours.

Window seat?

Up front?

I've never been on a bus before,

But I've always noticed their lovely colors.

Your job starts now,

Though,

My little Honeybee.

I will need your help navigating to everyone's house.

I reach back to hand you a big map that you stretch out in front of you.

There are little stickers where each student lives.

We look out the window to see Mr.

Honeybee and Harold waving us goodbye.

We wave back and are on our way.

One by one,

We pick everyone up.

They're all so excited to see you because they've heard so much about you and all of our adventures.

There are just a few more houses to stop at,

And the once empty bus is now full,

Buzzing with activity.

The students sing songs and play games all the way there.

You get to know everyone and hear about what they've been learning lately.

You're having so much fun on the bus ride to school that when we arrive,

You remember why you're here in the first place.

The bus unloads its passengers and all the students file into the schoolyard and then into the classroom.

We walk behind them to make sure each and every student gets safely inside.

The classroom is dark until we arrive,

So you flip up the light switch and brighten up the room even more.

While all the students are getting their chairs down from the desk,

Melody B slowly saunters down the hallway.

Looking at all the pictures of students that line the walls,

She stops for a moment in front of a trophy case that has a big shiny trophy and several blue ribbons hanging down from it.

Melody B is the last one to the classroom door.

And before she can get in,

One of the students slams the door with Melody B on the other side.

Hey,

I'm going to school today too.

Can someone open this door?

Ignoring Melody B's cries,

The student walks back to her desk thinking she's done a good job keeping a bee out of the classroom.

You quietly get up from your seat behind the teacher's desk at the front of the classroom and open the door for Melody B.

Thank you,

Little honey bee.

This must be why more bees don't go to school.

It's tough out here.

Melody B joins you at my desk before I call you both to the front of the classroom to introduce you.

Before you even get up to the front,

The students already start cheering for you.

They know all about you,

My little honey bee.

Class,

As you all know,

We have two special guests that will be joining us today.

You've heard all about my little honey bee here,

And this is Melody B,

Our other helper for today.

Hi everyone!

Hello!

They will be helping us out today.

Like always,

You can raise your hand if you need help,

And one of us will be there.

We usually get the day started by saying one thing we're grateful for.

Does everyone have theirs?

Who wants to go first?

Oh,

Oh!

I'll go first.

I am so grateful to be here at school learning with all of you.

Each student in the class carefully considers what they are grateful for today.

Sitting behind the teacher's desk at the front of the classroom,

Swiveling the chair from side to side,

Think of one thing you are grateful for.

Take a slow,

Deep breath in through your nose.

Feel your chest filling with gratitude and the sensation of your heart beating once,

Twice,

Three times.

Then slowly breathe all the way out through your mouth and send all your gratitude out into the world to pass it along so its goodness can grow.

We go through our schedule of activities.

First,

We go over the homework from last night.

As we correct math problems and learn spelling,

You write all the correct answers on the board in your best writing.

The students raise their hands for you to come help them,

And you're able to with ease.

Melody B buzzes around as your shadow,

Trying to learn as much as she can during her school day.

You are so,

So smart,

My little honey bee.

When we're done with homework,

The bell rings for recess.

We all run out to the playground and scatter.

You enjoy a couple games of tetherball,

Climb across the monkey bars,

And even win a game of basketball that started.

It's a beautiful day to be out in the sunshine,

And you enjoy meeting all the new friends around you.

When the bell rings again,

You follow everyone back into the classroom for story time.

This isn't just any story,

Though.

This is popcorn story time.

We all get comfy in a circle on the floor.

You are sitting beside me with Melody B on your other side.

I'll start the story with a sentence,

Then you add a sentence,

Then Melody B adds a sentence,

And so on.

Before we start,

Everyone settles into their comfy positions on the floor.

Make sure you're as cozy as possible.

Okay,

Class,

I'll start the story,

But we get to tell it together.

Oh,

I know.

Once upon a time,

There was a glowing octopus that lived at the deepest,

Darkest depths of the ocean.

Every day,

This octopus would swim to a new shipwreck to see what he could find.

As the story goes,

One day this octopus found a big black top hat in one of the shipwrecks.

He felt so fancy in his top hat that he was encouraged to think out of the box about his life,

Even out of the ocean.

Because of that,

He ventured onto dry land in his top hat.

Because of that,

People on the land began to notice him.

Such a fancy octopus,

Strolling around dry land in his top hat.

Not just strolling around,

This octopus in the top hat was actually running a presidential campaign.

He ran for president and passed out flyers to everyone who saw him stroll by in his fancy top hat.

Until finally,

The day came for the election.

It was a close race,

But the purple glowing octopus came out ahead above the rest and won the presidency.

The octopus achieved world peace,

Then returned home to the deepest,

Darkest depths with a new sense of what he was capable of.

The story brought us all the way to a second recess.

It's a short day today,

So Mr.

Honeybee will be here soon to pick us up for lunch.

We go back out into the sunshine to enjoy its warmth on our skin.

Take another slow,

Deep breath in through your nose.

Feel your chest and your spirits lift.

Then,

Slowly,

Breathe out through your mouth as you help round everyone up from second recess.

You and Melody Bee are such helpful helpers.

You stay at the back of the class to make sure everyone gets inside.

To end this short day,

We go over the homework for tomorrow and all the students get the last of their questions in.

It takes all three of us,

Me,

You,

And Melody Bee to answer all their questions,

But we finally do just in time for the last bell of the day to ring.

Thank you for your help,

My little Honeybee.

I don't know what I'm going to do without you and Melody Bee tomorrow.

Every day should be Bring a Honeybee to Work Day.

Just then,

The door creaks open and Mr.

Honeybee peeks his head in as quietly as he can,

Hoping he's not interrupting the class.

When he sees that it's empty,

He opens the door and comes in.

Hey,

How'd it go?

It was so much fun.

We have an octopus president now.

Finally!

I've been waiting for a cephalopod to get into office.

We had a great time today.

I was just telling them that I don't know how I'm going to get by every day without my assistants.

I mean,

We can always come back,

Mrs.

Honeybee.

Of course you can.

I'd love that.

Are you ready for lunch,

My little Honeybee?

You get to pick anywhere you want to go.

We tell Mr.

Honeybee all about our day at school as we drive to lunch to fill up on your favorite meal.

It's been such a delight spending the day with you.

Always remember,

Mrs.

Honeybee believes in you.

You are special and you are loved.

I can't wait to see you again.
