21 Send in the Clouds
7/7/20

23 Tim and the Talking Trees

Ms Frizzle suggests they all take a field trip deep into the forest, where the kids can find out for themselves what animals, insects, flowers, and trees all have to say about this!

24 Waste Not, Want Not
7/7/20
For this year's big school musical, Dorothy Ann plans to drape the stage in beautiful flowers. But her plants are dying, despite their extra clean soil.

Can DA convince the class that waste is an important part of nature's life cycle and help her save the flowers – and can she do it all in song?
25 Janet's Mystery Gene
7/7/20
Carlos and Janet have been paired up to read stories to a kindergarten class, but Janet gets nervous and irritable in front of crowds. To make her more friendly, Carlos and the class shrink, go inside Janet, and look for her 'Nervous Gene' so they can disable it before the reading.

Can the kids make Janet into Janet again in time for the reading?
26 Making Magic
7/7/20
The last field trip of the year is also the most important: the class must go to the center of the Sun to recharge the bus's Magic Battery, the source of the bus's magic. But when Mr. Ruhle, principal, safety nut, and amateur sun enthusiast, tags along, Arnold must preserve the secret of the field trips to prevent him from cancelling them altogether. But escalating mishaps, including launching Mr. Ruhle into space and the bus running out of reserve power, mean that Arnold must find the personal courage to save the bus, the class – and the magic!

I love this reboot it's great Plus i like show it put some episodes some spotlight characters on the end credits that's really cool. I watch this show on qubo back on january in this year and same thing as the website because i download some characters from this series before qubo channel shuts down on february 28 and website on this month on march that make me felt sad. But i love qubo so much for my childhood. I love the voice actors, the characters, the animation and everything.

Now that it's not a Netflix Original anymore, anyone who doesn't use Netflix, teachers who use MSB for school, and any new or old fan can hop aboard the Bus and ride along with Kate McKinnon!
