"Of course I am! Just... really excited to get going today!" Cheerilee typically doesn't have to force her smile in front of children, but right now, she doubts that there is a force in the world that could coax a genuine one out of her. "Speaking of, where were we? Ah, right! Cultures of the world!" She clears her throat and begins to write on the board, doing her best to start the day without bringing too much attention to the state that she is in. "It's no surprise that Equestria is populated mostly by earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns. However, there are many other species both inside and outside of Equestria that you'll probably meet one day! You might have seen a griffon participate in a local flying competition, or perhaps you've even seen a yak during their travels. Plus, I'm sure most of you know Spike, Ponyville's resident dragon! All of these creatures function differently than ourselves, but that isn't a bad thing! In fact, it's the differences in our cultures that are our greatest strength!"
