I have streamers to decorate the classroom.
- Meow-meow, so many colors!
Like a rainbow, meow-meow!
- Teacher Harriet loves rainbows!
Can we make her a rainbow with streamers?

Everyone, let's make a rainbow!

I'll take the red.
- Orange, please!

- Neither can I.
- And... I-I think I'm stuck.
Meow-meow.
- Aw, let me help you, toots.
- Twirl!
- Our streamers don't look like a rainbow.
- We need all the colors TOGETHER to make a rainbow for Teacher Harriet's birthday.
See?
Together.
Hoo-hoo!
- Well, if you want all the rainbow colors together, you need to work together.
♫If you can't do it alone, work together♫ -♫If you can't do it alone, work together♫ - Let's work together to make a rainbow.
