Tom, a school teacher nervous about his first day of teaching, tries to relax by watching TV. Suddenly, the Schoolhouse Rock kids appear in his building’s rec room and proceed to show him how to win his students over with imagination and music. The beloved Schoolhouse Rock songs include A Noun Is a Person, Place, or Thing, Three Is a Magic Number, and Unpack Your Adjectives.
