Mister Roger's Neighborhood
Alike and Different (Shows 1581-1585)
In this week of programs, Mister Rogers helps children understand about likenesses and differences in lots of different ways: a look at television programs from different countries; sign language, which is a different way of communicating; a trip to a car show to see how antique cars are alike and different; and a visit to the circus to see that clown make-up changes only the outside of a person--the person underneath stays the same.
Be Yourself (Show 1716-1720)
This week of Neighborhood programs focuses on persistence. To do anything well takes hard work and practice. It is also important for children to understand that there are some things (like flying through the air) that people cannot do at all, no matter how hard they try.
Everybody's Special (Show 1686-1690)
Through songs like " You are Special " and " It's You I Like " and visits with neighbors, old and new, Mister Rogers explores the meaning of "unique." Identical twins Kelly and Megan tell about some ways that they're alike and different. We get a glimpse of the many ways children and grownups use mirrors to reflect their images, and Mr. McFeely delivers a video showing how people make guitars one at a time, to make each one distinct.
Reading Rainbow
Unique Monique (Show
1502)
Monique's school uniform doesn't allow her to express herself so she experiments with ways to be unique before finally discovering a way to stand out without breaking the rules. Each and every one of us is unique - even twins. At the Twinsburg Twins Days Festival we join twins as they celebrate their alikeness and their individuality. Then LeVar finds out how Brandon, who as a child had difficulty expressing himself because he stuttered, now helps kids express their uniqueness and individuality through art.
