and this is my good friend, Abby.

- Aww!

And we're here to tell you

the word of the day!

- Today's word is belonging.

Belonging is feeling like you're

an important member of a group.

Like your family.

- Oh, like how I belong in my family!

Because I'm a daughter

and I'm a stepsister.

- Yes, just like that.

You are a very important part

of your family, Abby.

- Aww, thanks

Mr. Sam.

But how would I know if I'm part

of any other groups?

- Good question, Abby.

One way to know is to say I am

and finish the sentence.

For example, I am a friend.

- Me too!

I am

a great friend.

- And I am a neighbor,

who is part of my neighborhood.

- What-

me too!

I am a neighbor right here

on Sesame Street!

You know, I think I got this.

Hm, lemme try one.

Oh, okay.

My turn.

I

am a student.

- Yes, you're a student

and students are very important

members of the school.

- Oh, oh my goodness.

I belong to a lot of groups.

- You sure do.

We all belong.

We should all feel welcome

and know there's a place for us.

- Oh, ah Mr. Sam.

It's your turn.

- You know I do belong

to a very special group.

Here, I'll show you. - What?

- A veggies, assemble.

- What, what?

The A Veggies?

I can't believe it!

That is a very special group!

You help so many people.

- You know what, Abby?

We're looking for a new member

to join the group.

- You are?

I am

incredi-broccoli!

The newest member of the A Veggies!

- Yes you are

and you

belong here.

- [All] Belonging!
