Caillou

I'm Learning! (3x4)


: 13, 2003

In this Caillou episode we explore first time experiences. Caillou visits a ranch, plays firefighter, goes to the store and learns about telling time. Cowboy Caillou: Jonas, a friend of Dad's and a real cowboy, has invited the family to visit his ranch. Caillou had never met a real cowboy before. Caillou learns a lot about horses: they like carrots, they wear shoes? And he even gets to brush a pony named Lucky. Jonas also has a great surprise for them all. He takes them on a wagon ride and gives Caillou a terrific souvenir: his very own cowboy hat! (Additional Lessons: Dealing with the Unknown, First Time Experience.) Caillou, the Firefighter: When Dad's burning toasts trigger the fire alarm, he decides it is the perfect opportunity to practice a fire drill. Caillou gets the family together and after going over a basic evacuation plan, Dad starts the alarm once more and everyone rushes outside to a meeting point. Caillou happily spends the afternoon outside pretending to be a firefighter. Caillou's Coins: Caillou accompanies Mom to the grocery store and brings along some money from his piggybank. He gets his own shopping cart and helps Mom gather the things on the grocery list. Caillou finds a way to spend his money: he gets his face painted by a lady at the store. Back home, Caillou has a surprise for Rosie: he gives her a helium-filled balloon that the face-painting lady gave him. (Additional Lesson: Helping Others, Independence, Sharing) Caillou the Timekeeper: Caillou and his Mommy are finishing preparing a picnic lunch. Caillou would like to leave right away, but it's not lunchtime yet and Mom and Dad have other things to finish before they leave. Caillou goes back and forth between Mom and Dad to check if it is time to go. To help Caillou wait, Dad gives him a small alarm clock and a special assignment; to let everybody know when it's noon (when the two hands on the clock reach twelve.)
