  7. Kat Emerick says

    I learned that in each episode, Dora invites young viewers to join her on an adventure or an exploration with a clearly defined goal at the end. Using Map to point out the stops on the way, Dora and the viewer must solve problems and overcome obstacles along the way to their goal. At the end of each episode, Dora, the viewer, and Dora’s friends, celebrate with Dora’s signature “We Did It” dance.

    with the code. Not sure why I can’t highlight. I have never had this problem before.
    Thank you.
