Trivia

• It is revealed that Camilla and Tomas became best friends due to her family's interest in taking care of turtles and tortoises.
• Map makes a non-speaking appearance in this episode.
• It is revealed that Boots' mother is a teacher at Dora's School. She is a teacher in story class.
• Dora and Boots aren't with each other in this episode because they're at school and are in different classes instead of the same class, Dora is instead with Pepe since it's his first day of school.
  • Boots makes three cameos in this episode: first when entering school, then again whilst Dora and Pepe walk by his Spanish class, and one last time in the Favorite Parts segment. The latter two of Boots's three cameos were non-speaking.
• The Travel Song is replaced by My New School, about Pepe's first day at the new school.
  • The reason for the Travel Song being absent is that the entire episode takes place at school which means there aren't actually any places to go - it instead goes around the school to different classes,
• Dora doesn't use Backpack and Map in this episode because she's not traveling anywhere in this episode.
• Rather than the usual squares, the picture pop-up sequence uses the school explorer notebook.
• When Dora and Pepe talk about their favorite parts at the end of the episode, Boots doesn't have a favorite part because he's not with Dora in this episode.
• The Fiesta Trio and Swiper don't appear in this episode and they're the only ones not to go to school.
  • This is one of few post-Season 3 episodes in which the Fiesta Trio do not play their extended fanfare to start the We Did It! song.
  • However, if Swiper appeared in the episode, he would be on his good side trying not to swipe at school; if he's going to take Spanish class.
• Diego does not appear in this episode or go to school with Dora and Pepe. Since he went in La Maestra de Música.
• Dora doesn't wear her pink shirt and orange shorts as her regular clothes in this episode, she instead wears her special school uniform.
• Boots doesn't sing We Did It! with Dora in this episode at the end because they're not with each other or in the same class. She (Dora) instead sings with Pepe and her other classmates.
• This is the 2nd time Hola, Hola was sung after La Maestra de Música, but this time, Maestra Beatriz sings it.
• Shirley Rumierk provides the voice of both Maestra Beatriz and Boots' mommy in this episode.
• This episode marks Camilla's last speaking role and the last time she is voiced by Maria Celeste.
• This episode seems similar to the Blue's Clues episode Blue Takes You to School.
