- Kai: These are our agreements
for creating a community of writers.
- Shepherd: Every idea is a good idea,
and every idea can be revised.
You are full of so many wonderful ideas,
and we want to hear them all.
And you're allowed to change your ideas.
So maybe you have an idea for a magical unicorn castle
that you turn into a giant shark rocket.
That's fantastic, and we love to hear it.
- Support each other's ideas!
In order for everyone to share all their good ideas,
we have to support each other.
I wanna support you, and I want you to support me.
We can do that by saying yes to each other
and adding on to each other's ideas,
like, "Yes, I love that!
And also, what about this?"
- Dawry: Respect yourself and others.
Sometimes, the scariest thing is sharing your own ideas.
But remember, every idea is a good idea.
So we wanna create an environment
where you can be silly and goofy
so everyone else can also be silly and goofy too.
- Keep the peace.
Just like it's important for us
to be respectful of ourselves and others,
it's important for us to be respectful in our bodies.
So, you don't know this yet,
but I did install a magical cupboard
right above your head.
Go ahead and open that cupboard up,
reach around in there.
You might have to move some stuff around.
Find a little button.
This is your magical force field button.
Put that button on top of your head.
Make sure it's on nice and secure.
Hit your magical force field button. [pop]
Wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-wha-wha.
To activate your magical force field
so that you can be a racecar driver
or a food fighter or a football player,
and you don't have to worry about causing a traffic accident
or accidentally tackling one of your neighbors.
- And respect the magic sign.
Here in Whoopensocker City,
we have a fun way of trying to get everyone's attention.
When someone says, "Whoop it up!"
Everyone says... - Kids in unison: Sock it to me!
- And if you have your own magic sign in your classroom,
feel free to use that one.
The point is that we need a fun way
of getting everyone's attention
for all the fun stuff that we have planned.
- Pretty cool agreements, right?
Well, now it is time for us to agree to them.
So take out your right hand.
Make a W with your fingers, just like this,
and repeat after me.
I agree... - I agree.
- To the agreements. - To the agreements.
- In agreement. - In agreement.
- And for pereptual agreement's sake...
- Most agreeably. - Most agreeably.
- With the agreeatudeness. - With the agreeatudeness.
- A-whoop it up! - A-whoop it up!
- A-sock it to me! - A-sock it to me!
- Nice. - These are our agreements.
Force field high-five?
Yeah, let's do it, force field high-five!
