A girl wears her black hair pulled away from her face. She wears a blue tee shirt.

Jane says, HI, I'M JANE.
IF I COULD BE ANYTHING, I'D
BE A KINDERGARTEN TEACHER!

[Cheerful music plays]

Children wear costumes and uniforms for different jobs.

A woman sings, IMAGINE POWERFUL
IMAGINE COMICAL
IMAGINE MAGICAL
CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?

Text reads “Can You Imagine That? Starring Jane.”

Jane draws a sun on a whiteboard.

Jane says, HI, I'M JANE.
IF I COULD BE ANYTHING,
I WOULD BE
A KINDERGARTEN TEACHER!

[Soothing music plays]

Animated students sit in a circle.

Jane says, I'D TEACH GIRLS AND BOYS
HOW TO COUNT...

Each time Jane counts a number, she throws a ball to a student.

[Boing]

Jane counts, ONE.

[Boing]

Jane counts, TWO.

[Slide whistle, boing]

Jane counts, THREE.

Jane says, NICE JOB!
Jane draws an animated sun in the air with her finger.

[Slide whistle]

She continues, AND I WOULD TEACH
MY STUDENTS HOW TO READ.
AND TO PAINT.

I WOULD BE A VERY
PATIENT TEACHER.
THAT MEANS
I WOULD LET EVERYONE
TAKE THEIR TIME
WITH LEARNING.

A boy colours a square sun with a pencil.

[Scribble]

Jane high fives the boy.

[Chime, High five]

Jane says, I'D WEAR BRIGHTLY COLOURED
CLOTHES AND SHOES.
SO I COULD
HAVE FUN DANCING
AND SINGING WITH
THE BOYS AND GIRLS.

MY CLASSROOM WOULD BE
FULL OF PICTURE BOOKS,
TOYS, AND EVEN PUPPETS.

THIS IS LENNY
THE LETTER PUPPET.

PLEASE BE QUIET
GIRLS AND BOYS,
LENNY IS HAVING
A LITTLE NAP.

[Shushing, quiet snoring]

Z IS FOR ZEBRA.
ZALE THE ZEBRA WOULD
BE MY MUSIC ASSISTANT
BECAUSE OF HIS VERY
SPECIAL STRIPES.

HE WOULD HELP ME TEACH THE KIDS
THE MUSICAL SCALE.

Jane sings a scale, DO…RE...MI...FA...SO...LA...TI... DO.

She says, ZALE THE ZEBRA
IS VERY TICKLISH.
AS THE MUSIC NOTES GO HIGHER,
THEY TICKLE HIM.

[Jane laughs]

[Upbeat music plays]

Jane says, AS A KINDERGARTEN TEACHER,
I WOULD ALSO HAVE FUN
TEACHING MY CLASS
ABOUT DIFFERENT SHAPES...
...LIKE CIRCLES!

[Slide whistle]

She spins a hula hoop around her waist. A boy gives Jane a blue rectangle.

THANK YOU, JOSH.
AND RECTANGLES!

She creates a car using different-sized rectangles.

AND TRIANGLES!

Jane dances and taps green triangle with a rod and then drops it on the ground.

[Ding, ding]

Jane says, I WOULD ALSO LOVE
TO TEACH THE ALPHABET.
LEARNING THE ALPHABET
IS THE FIRST STEP IN
LEARNING HOW TO READ!

Jane smiles.

A IS FOR AWESOME!
AND "A" IS FOR APPLE -
MY STUDENTS WOULD GIVE ME
AN APPLE EVERY DAY,
SO I DON'T GET SICK.
IT'S A HEALTHY SNACK.

A lid falls off a box and Jane waves from inside.

[Slide whistle]

She says, AND B IS FOR...
CAN YOU GUESS? BOX!
B IS FOR BOX!

Jane opens a small box and finds an orange and yellow cat.

She says, I WONDER WHAT'S INSIDE.
OH, IT'S THE LETTER "C"
IN THE SHAPE OF A CAT!
THIS IS CORAL THE CAT -
SHE'S OUR CLASS PET.

[Meow]

Jane says, WE FEED HER
AND PET HER EVERY DAY.

IF I WERE
A KINDERGARTEN TEACHER,
MY CLASS AND I WOULD MAKE
LOTS OF ARTS AND CRAFTS.

LIKE COOL PLANES MADE
OUT OF CLOTHES PEGS
AND WOODEN STICKS.

Jane makes hand prints in the air.

[Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh]

She says, WE WOULD USE FINGER PRINTS
AND MAKE SILLY HAND CREATURES
TO DECORATE OUR CLASSROOM
AND FOR MY STUDENTS TO TAKE
HOME FOR THEIR FAMILIES.

AND AFTER THAT
WE WOULD BE HUNGRY.
SNACK TIME!

WE WOULD ALL SIT
IN A CIRCLE TOGETHER
FOR A LITTLE TREAT
OF APPLES AND RAISINS. YUM!

AFTER ALL THAT FUN
WITH NUMBERS AND LETTERS,
ARTS AND CRAFTS...
...AND A HEALTHY SNACK...
...MY CLASS AND I WOULD STILL
HAVE LOTS OF ENERGY FOR...
...A DANCE PARTY!

[Children cheer]

IT'S FUN TO MOVE ANY
WHICH WAY YOU WANT!

I LOVE TEACHING!

Jane dances with her students.

[Energetic music plays]

A woman sings, CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO BE
CAN YOU IMAGINE THERE'S
A WORLD FULL OF FANTASY?

AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT
LOTS, IT BECOMES SO REAL
DID YOU KNOW, DID YOU KNOW,
DID YOU KNOW?

THAT YOU CAN DO
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO
IMAGINE THIS OR THAT
THINK OF SOMETHING NEW
AND YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE
A THING OR TWO
ANYTHING YOU WANT,
IT'S REALLY UP TO YOU.

BA, BA, BA, BA, BA,
BA-DA BA-DA
BA, BA, BA, BA, BA,
BA-DA BA-DA

BA, BA, BA, BA,
BA, BA-DA BA-DA

BA, BA, BA, BA, BA,

BA-DA BA-DA
BA, BA-DA BA-DA
BA, BA-DA BA-DA

CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?

Animated stars twinkle.

[Twinkling noise]

Jane says, I'M JANE, AND
I'M A KINDERGARTEN TEACHER!
IMAGINE THAT!

[Energetic music plays]
