Alex and Emma Johnston head back to school and it looks like they are not holding back to show off their talent and skills. As the first day came to an end, the pair recalled what a tiring day it had been. Despite this, they were looking forward to some of the changes that were taking place in their life. 

Alex revealed his interests in robotics and mentioned he was going to try for the robotics team. Amber Johnston explained Alex would have to plan out the mechanism for building a robot and if he does well, he will be in the team. Meanwhile, Emma had been doing well in her cheer team. She had been in the squad for a year and found out that she was the new co-captain for the team. Emma confessed she was surprised that she was selected as the co-captain because she always saw herself as a shy person. Her teacher also had praises for Emma and stated that she had grown. 

She reflected on how Emma never let her height come into play and did her best no matter what she was doing. The Johnstons family got another good news as Alex made it to the robotics team. Alex revealed he had always had his interest in this field and was happy to be surrounded by like-minded people. However, one thing that he was struggling with was carrying a stool to reach the same height as the others as they worked on the robots. Apart from this, Alex enjoyed every second of it. As for Emma, she was already doing well in cheer but another thing she had to focus on was doing well in studies. 

Amber decided to talk to Emma and told her about the importance of paying attention to studies and not just Facetiming with her friends. She realized how important it was for her to do well and promised to work hard. Alex and Emma also showed off their talent for their social studies project where they had to talk about an important person. Alex chose Franklin D Roosevelt while Emma chose Malala Yousafzai. The two did an outstanding job and impressed everyone with their speaking skills. 

'7 Little Johnstons' airs on Tuesdays at 10 pm ET on TLC.
