Overview[]

The main focus of the season's curriculum is "children getting along in their world," dealing with themes of conflict resolution, entering social groups and understanding feelings. The season also promotes the uses and abilities of personal computers, and using the arts (such as dance, music art) to help teach.[2]

Episodes[]

Episodes 3851 - 3915 (65 episodes)

Notes[]

  • The second season of Elmo's World includes ten new segments about Singing, Dogs, Exercise, Babies, Bananas, Drawing, Flowers, Plants & Trees, Telephones, Farms, and Hair.
  • In June 2000, following the season finale, Children's Television Workshop changed its name to Sesame Workshop. In-show references to CTW—namely the sendoff "Sesame Street is a production of the Children's Television Workshop"—are dropped after this season. This change affects the closing credit sequence, which would be edited in later seasons, and for reruns of this season. The Sesame Street logo is also redesigned, changing the "CTW" to "123."
  • After this season, Richard Hunt is no longer credited as a performer.
  • All episodes in this season were shown in one of Noggin's 123 Sesame Street rotations from 2003 to 2005.
