- Hi everybody.

My name is Zach and welcome to Camp TV.

Are you ready for some summer fun?

Me too.

Now as your head counselor, I will be introducing you to all sorts of cool activities.

Arts, crafts, games, math and science as well as some of my favorite books, nature and theater.

I will be here to take you from one activity to the next.

So follow me on Camp TV.

[cheerful music] - [Announcer] This program was made possible in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting a private corporation funded by the American people.

Additional funding was provided by the Peter G. Peterson and Joan Ganz Cooney Fund and the Pine Tree Foundation of New York.

[cheerful ukulele music] ♪ Camp TV ♪ ♪ It's time for us to start ♪ ♪ From furry animal encounters ♪ ♪ Some reading and the arts ♪ ♪ No matter what the weather ♪ ♪ We'll explore it all together ♪ ♪ It's a place for you and me ♪ ♪ It's Camp TV ♪ - Hi everyone, and welcome to, tie day on Camp TV.

Today, I invite you to wear a tie, any tie.

It could be a tie that you have lying around the house, a tie that you made yourself, or even a piece of tie dye clothing will do.

I did my best to dress up for the occasion, and I'm not the only one.

Meet Scout.

This wriggly lovebug is the newest addition to my family.

Now, Scout was supposed to wait to meet you but waiting is difficult, especially when you're a scout.

[kisses Scout] [cheerful music] [Scout whining] So, who do you think wore a tie better?

[camera clicks] [Trixie meows] Sorry, Trixie can't forget about you.

[camera clicks] How about we just call it, a tie.

Huh?

[Scout sighing] Have fun in your first activity.

[cheerful music] - [Zach] A little birdie told me, it's time to go wild.

[soft music] - So we're here today, at the San Diego Zoo, checking out our three month old baby, Sumatran orangutan Aisha.

Indah continues to be a really great mother.

She is very protective when anybody human or animal, is around her and she doesn't let go of the baby or let anyone touch the baby yet.

But when she is by herself, she's letting the baby down and having her explore her surroundings and building up her strength.

[cheerful music] When Aisha was born, immediately mom picked her up and she attached right onto the fur and never let go with a very strong grip and it's amazing you think she's asleep and mom will move a little bit and the baby's awake right away and got an even firmer grip on her.

[cheerful music] - [Zach] Curiosity and wonder let's discover together.

It's science Wow!

.

[Lori] And Lori's back from the children's museum with my assistant Dean and today we are making slime.

To make this full proof slime you'll need liquid starch, shaving cream, cups, clear glue or white glue, measuring cups, water and a spoon to stir with and food coloring.

To make your slime we're gonna start with a cup or a bowl and the first thing you will add is your glue.

[big splash sound] Add all the glue in there and next we're gonna add water.

Make sure to give that a good stir.

You're gonna wanna combine those two, and then we're going with a springtime pastel color so I only put one drop of food coloring.

The food coloring will be very pigmented right now but once we add our shaving cream later, it'll look cool.

Then you're gonna add your starch, mix it very well and then you'll see your slime start to form.

Go ahead and dump that out on the table.

The process we're doing now is called kneading just like you would do it fresh dough.

And then we're gonna add two spots of shaving cream right in the middle of our slime.

And we're gonna start kneading that a lot more, until your shaving cream is fully formed inside of the slime.

What the shaving cream did, was give it a more rubbery, bouncy texture to it, which creates that fluffy effect.

Dean really enjoyed it.

He thought it was a bouncy ball so it ended up on the ground.

I did repeat this process several times in several colors and then I took little chunks of each color and mix them all together.

[cheerful music] - Do you remember when you first learned to tie your shoe laces?

I found that challenging.

I got frustrated, upset, even a little anxious but, with a lot of practice and even more patience, I eventually got it.

And now, it's second nature.

Ta-da Knots aren't always easy to learn, but they sure are useful.

So today, I'm taking on a new, Zach challenge.

I'm going to learn how to tie a square knot, sometimes called a reef knot.

It's a great way to type bundles or packages together.

Shall we give it a try?

Cross the right working end over and then under the left end.

It should look like the start of when you tie a shoelace.

Now, across the left working end over then under the right end.

Let's try it on a box now.

So that's right over left and tuck under and then left over right and tuck under.

Hold tight and you are done.

Nice.

[children cheering] Well, I don't wanna keep you tied up so, why don't you head off to your next activity while I keep practicing.

Right over left, left over right.

Makes a knot both tidy and tight.

- Music, dance, magic and more.

Step right up to center stage.

[singing in foreign language] - Ola amigos from Musical Explorers, I am Gregorio and this is my friend Jonathan and we're very excited that you're gonna get to learn some cumbia.

Today we're gonna be learning a song called [in foreign language] and [in foreign language] is a long canoe that sails in the rivers of Columbia, my country.

There are two parts of the song that we're gonna learn.

The first part is the chorus and it's in call and response.

It goes like this, [in foreign language] And then we say, [in foreign language] So now we're gonna get ready to learn the melody of the song.

Okay.

So repeat after me.

[singing in foreign language] Now let's do it as a call response.

So I'm gonna sing the first part, the call, and you are gonna do the response.

Like this.

[singing in foreign language] Okay.

So now we're moving to the second part and it's called the refrain and it happens between the chorus and the verse.

We're gonna sing it one time and then I want you to join us.

Here we go.

One, two, three, four.

[singing in foreign language] Join us [singing in foreign language] That's it.

[singing in foreign language] Louder come on.

[singing in foreign language] Let me hear you.

[singing in foreign language] Okay amigo.

So something that's very fun about cumbia is that it's also a dance and I have a dancing partner here, Lorena from Barranquilla and we're gonna show you four steps for dancing cumbia.

First step, I have, you have to imagine that I have lit candles and I'm gonna give them to Lorena.

The second step, we're going to do a circle, and when I try to come closer she's gonna put me away with a candles.

So I'm gonna try to stay away from that so I don't get burned.

The third step, we're gonna dance back to back with our shoulders together, while still looking at each other and in the fourth step, we're gonna dance side-by-side, come forward and then back.

That's it.

So here we go.

[cumbia music] All right.

Hi five Lorena.

All right, so now we're gonna put it all together and we're gonna play the song and I want you to sing, I want you to dance, I want you to play an instrument, whatever you want but I want you to participate in [in foreign language].

You're ready?

Here we go.

A one, a two, a one ,two, three, four.

[singing in foreign language] Sing together.

[singing in foreign language] All right, I hope you really enjoy that song.

I want you to keep singing it in class, in the bus, sing it to your family.

And we had a great time and I'm really excited that you learned this cumbia.

[speaking foreign language] I'll see you next time.

- [Zach] Arts and crafts?

Yes please.

Let's get artsy.

[gentle music] [cheerful music] [gentle music] - [Zach] Curiosity and wonder.

Let's discover together.

It's science wow!

- Have you ever wondered what it would take to get a cup to fly in the air?

Yeah, me too.

Welcome to impossible science.

[energetic music] Hey everyone, it's Jason Latimer, the world champion in magic.

Coming to you with another impossible science.

Now, today's topic, is levitation and while you may have seen magicians levitate cups before, much like the opening of this episode, that's an illusion.

But today, I'm gonna show you that with a few modifications, we can take two cups and use it's shape, to make them fly like a paper airplane.

Seriously!

So grab a couple of cups, some tape and about three or four rubber bands and I'll meet you at the table service.

Okay.

For this levitation, we're gonna use air pressure.

Today I'm gonna show you how to manipulate it, to create what's called the Magnus effect.

No not magnets, Magnus effect, but before we get into it let me show you a little experiment.

This is a magic soda can.

No just kidding it's just a regular can okay?

It's empty.

But right now when it sits down on the table gravity is holding it down but we have equal air pressure on this side and this side and even inside because it's open.

It's equal on all sides which is why it's sitting still, but I'm gonna blow air on one side of this can.

What that's gonna do, is a faster moving air, will create low air pressure.

Now, what that means is there'll be low air pressure on one side and higher pressure on the other side.

So guess what happens?

The can will be pushed into that low air pressure pocket.

So if I blow on it on this side you're gonna see the can move that way.

Did you see that?

I'll show you again in slow motion.

It's actually moving towards low air pressure pocket.

Let me magnify the effect with a second can.

If I blow down the center of these two cans, the low air pressure pocket on this side, and the higher pressure over here will push this can this way.

Just as much as there'll be lower pressure pocket here and there'll be higher pressure pocket here.

So if I blow air here, this one will move this way.

So instead of being pushed apart they're gonna connect.

Perfect.

They connect, not magic, science.

Now, imagine if there was faster moving air on this side and slower moving air on this side.

Well, that means there'll be lower pressure here and higher pressure here.

Now, imagine it being turned sideways.

If can get faster moving air on top, and higher pressure on the bottom, we can create lift.

So how are we gonna do that?

We're gonna take advantage of the shape.

See, we're gonna get this spinning in the air like this.

Now what's that's gonna do, is if this object is moving through the air and it's spinning this way, well, this rotation is helping the air over the top.

It's assisting it moves faster, just as much as it's slowing the air on the bottom.

You'd have low air pressure on top, you'd have higher pressure on the bottom that creates lift and that gives us the Magnus effect.

So let's turn that, into an airplane.

Seriously.

All you need for this one, are two cups.

Okay I'm just kidding.

You need two cups, we're gonna need four rubber bands and we're gonna need some tape.

Now it's very easy to make.

Just place the cups base together and we're gonna place some tape all the way around it.

And this is what I'm doing I'm just placing the tape right down the center.

We don't want it to be loose.

We want it to be pretty secure because it's gonna be spinning.

We don't want it to fall apart.

Now, we're gonna take these rubber bands and we're going to interlock them with each other and we're gonna create one long elastic like rope.

Now, I'm using four rubber bands but you could use five, probably need more than three.

Three would probably be the low end.

And now what we're gonna do, is we're gonna take this stretchy rope and we're gonna wrap it around this.

Now, the way I'm gonna wrap it, is so that, you spin it around just around the base like this.

Nice and tight and stretch it out like this.

Now what's gonna happen, when I pull this back and shoot it like a Slingshot, what's really happening is it's going to uncoil through that rubber band, which gets it spinning but it's also shooting forward because we just shot it like a slingshot.

You're gonna have the cups rotating like this, creating low air pressure on the top, higher pressure on the bottom and we create lift.

That's right.

These cups, are gonna act like a paper airplane.

The faster you get it spinning, the more lift you'll create.

Like that.

You should probably do this outside.

[laughs] I'll just take this outside.

Alright, let's give it a shot.

Pretty cool right?

- [Zach] You took the words right out of my mouth.

Write on.

- Some of the first stories that people ever told, were about heroes.

And they're still among the most popular stories today.

When we're faced with extraordinary danger, it's a hero we look for to rise up out of our midst and renew the community with their leadership and bravery.

- Don't worry citizens of the city, your hero here has saved the day again!

[people cheering] - We're gonna write some stories about heroes.

We're gonna pit those heroes against gigantic hero size problems and help them come up with creative inventive solutions that will shock and amaze us.

Are you ready?

- Yeah.

- Very quickly, let's talk about what a hero is.

There are, of course, the heroes of movies and video games who fly around shooting lasers out of their eyes.

And if that's the kind of hero you like best, you can write about a hero like that but there are so many other kinds of heroes out there.

You've probably read about some real life heroes in school like Dr. Martin Luther King, who fought for everyone to be treated equally or Malala Yousafzai who overcame violence and hatred to help make sure girls all over the world are able to go to school and get an education.

There are also heroes in your neighborhood right now.

Firefighters, teachers, nurses, kids who stand up to bullies, your older cousin who always helps you out.

- Hey, it's me your older cousin.

I saved your wardrobe.

You're welcome.

- Or my personal favorite.

- Hi.

I'm Dr. Badjokes and I have the ability, hey, the gift, to tell jokes that are so bad, they can solve all of your problems.

- The point is, that your hero can be anybody.

As long as they help out their community and solve a gigantic problem.

They don't all have to look like the heroes that you see in the movies.

Ready to get started on your own hero character?

- Yeah!

- [Quinton] To get started, just draw a picture of your hero in the draw your hero box.

Whether they're a person, an animal or something much weirder.

Don't worry about being a great artist.

This is brainstorming time.

Think about exactly how your hero looks.

Are they big or small?

What is their facial expression like?

Do they have straight, shiny teeth or sharp fangs?

Are they wearing any special clothes?

Or do they have any important accessories?

Are there any other facts you want us to remember about them?

What do they like to eat?

What's their favorite sports and the whole time you're drawing, label you're drawing with words.

This is to help you remember important details you want to include in your story later and if you're like me, it might even help you remember what you were drawing in the first place.

Like I said, this isn't about being a great artist, This is just to give you ideas for your story.

And now that we have this cat, what should we name it?

How about Catgage.

Why Catcage?

I don't know.

It's a brand new name that's never been heard of before and I like the sound of it.

You can decide on any weird name you want for your own hero character.

Every hero helps people and solves problems but the way they do those things can be very different.

We all know about heroes with superpowers.

- I'm gonna lift this heavy car with just my finger.

Here I go.

[groans] - But there are lots of other kinds of strengths and talents that heroes can use to help them rise to the challenges they meet.

To tell you more, and to help you exercise your muscles at the same time, we now bring you to an episode of, Working Out With Dr.Badjokes.

The exercise show about heroes, strengths, and talents.

Each exercise Dr. Badjokes does, will demonstrate a different kind of talent a hero might have.

Exercise along with him, and you just might get some ideas for strengths and talents for a hero character of your own.

- Welcome to Working Out With Dr. Badjokes.

Here, we're gonna be exercising our minds and our bodies, to help you come up with brand new hero characters.

Now, I hope you've all stretched because we're gonna be using our bodies quite a bit.

Now some heroes are fluffy kittens.

Now we're gonna do my favorite exercise, fluffing your fur.

- Whoa, sorry, everyone.

I apologize.

We are here to talk about heroes and fluffiness, is clearly not heroic in any way.

- I can't believe you said that Quinton .

A kitten can be a fluffy hero this is no joking matter.

For example, what if, people all around town were upset because there's pudding everywhere.

- Uuh!

Look at all this pudding in our town.

- Now, we have a fluffy kitten to pur up next to us and calm us all down.

- Oh yeah.When you put it that way, sorry I was clearly completely wrong.

Please carry on.

- Thank you.

Now we can finally get to it.

♪ And fluff, fluff ,fluff ♪ One more, feel the burn.

♪ fLuff , fluff, fluff.

♪ And we're done.

Now some heroes are spaghetti noodles.

We're gonna do my favorite exercise, the long spaghetti stretch.

- Sorry.

Okay.

Listen, you got me before all right?

A fluffy kitty turned out to have some heroic properties, but this, this is ridiculous.

How is a noodle dish gonna save people and solve problems?

- Quinton Wow!

Of course a long piece of spaghetti can help.

What if someone was almost about to fall down a short flight of stairs, then they grabbed onto this spaghetti noodle to help bring themselves back up.

- That actually totally makes sense.

Sorry.

- Thank you.

All right, here we go.

This is the spaghetti stretch and we're gonna open like a flower.

Hold it, and we're gonna close.

You're done.

Thanks for joining me on Working Out With Dr. Badjokes.

We're all done here but I want you to remember this one joke.

What do you get when you mix a dumbbell with the bottle of water?

A huge mess.

[people booing] - Okay.

So what kind of strength or talent will your hero have?

Will they be super fast, a great scientist?

Will they be a talented speech writer who can inspire others?

Or will they be the greatest singer in all the land?

Or will it be something much, much weirder that nobody else has thought of yet.

It's up to you to decide.

We can't wait to see what you come up with.

- [Zach] Let's get cooking.

Woo.Trying to master that square knot was no joke.

It kind of left my stomach in knots.

So I thought I'd relax by doing one of my favorite things, baking, and what better way to celebrate Thai day, than with some homemade tie dye cookies.

You will need to start with a basic sugar-cookie dough recipe.

I have, two and three quarters cup all purpose flour, one teaspoon of baking soda, half teaspoon of baking powder, one cup of butter softened, one and a half cups of white sugar, one egg and a little bit of vanilla extract.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth.

Beat in the egg and vanilla.

Gradually blend in the dry ingredients too.

Next, divide the raw cookie dough into five bowls and carefully add eight to 10 drops of different food coloring to each.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Don't forget, food coloring stains anything it touches.

We is sort of the point.

So be careful not to spill it anywhere else than in the cookie dough mix.

Mix it in until it's well blended.

Next, role each color dough between your hands to make a long snake shaped piece of dough.

Layer them together and roll it in some parchment paper to form a log.

If the dough is sticky to the touch, chill it in the refrigerator until it's firm enough to cut.

With the help of an adult, cut the log into quarter inch slices and place in a 350 degree oven for eight to 10 minutes.

Using oven mitts, carefully remove the baking tray from the oven and once they've cooled off, enjoy.

Hmm, [Scout whining] Sorry scout no cookies for you.

But, next time we will try to make tie dye dog treats instead.

[blows a kiss] - Jump, dance, play.

It's time to get active.

Let's move.

- Hello.

My name is Ugayanwu and I am a teaching artist with the New Victory Theater.

My pronouns are he, him, his and we are currently in my apartment in Inwood, Manhattan with my two cats.

They're not here at the moment and today we are going to do some animal exploration.

So, when I say animal exploration, I mean that you and I are going to become animals.

We are gonna try to move our bodies to copy the way they move and try to make sounds the way they make sounds.

Okay?

The animals that we are going to explore, particularly live in the region of Australia.

The first animal that we're going to explore, is the kangaroo.

Now the kangaroo is an interesting animal.

Their front legs are pretty short.

So we're gonna take our two arms and we're gonna bring them real close to us as close as we can as possible and maybe you can want to even try to bring your shoulders back too like that.

Okay?

Now the next thing we're gonna do is we're gonna tilt our bodies forward just a little bit.

I'm gonna go into profile so you can see.

Tilt our bodies just a little bit.

Now I'm gonna take a couple steps back so you can see my full body.

Now with their back legs, they kind of bend.

So let's see if we can bend the knees, get as lowú as you can make sure you're not a straining or putting too much pressure on your body.

And this is it.

This is pretty much the shape of a kangaroo.

See how that feels for you.

Cool.

Now the next thing we're gonna do is we're gonna move around like the kangaroo and kangaroos hop, they hop around from place to place.

Sometimes they use their tails to help them balance out.

Clearly we, we don't have a tail.

Let me check one.

Nope, Nope, no tail, at least for me.

And so you and I are gonna pretend like we have a tail and we're gonna hop around the space.

So give it a shot.

Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop hop.

Now the last thing we're gonna do is we're gonna try to mimic the same sound as a kangaroo.

Now, as I catch my breath [breathing heavily].

Great, we are here.

So the kangaroo sound, is a very interesting one.

They make a bunch of different sounds I found out and I realized, but one sound that I've heard them make a lot is this really sort of a guttural sound like kind of coming from their stomach.

It almost sounds like, when you're trying to like almost let out a cough but you can't.

So I'm gonna give it a shot and you're gonna to try to give it a shot as well and we're gonna work through it together.

So the sound that the kangaroo makes it sort of like a, [guttural sound] [laughs]it's like that, I'm not playing around.

So it's like a [guttural sound] It's scary, it's kind of strange, but I'm actually kind of into it.

So try that, try hopping around and try making the sound as well.

Okay, here we go.

[guttural sounds] I think my neighbors are gonna be a little nervous about what sounds are going on here but if they ask, I'm just gonna tell them I'm making the sound of the kangaroo, a duh.

So the next animal we are going to explore is the lizard.

Now lizards have really short legs.

So we're gonna take our two arms and we're gonna bring it close to our body.

Bring it as close as we can.

And we're gonna make sure our fingers are spread out to sort of mimic the lizards feet, right?

Now the same thing is gonna go for the back legs.

The back legs are really close to their body.

So I'm gonna take a couple steps back so you could see me and you're gonna try to bring your legs as close to you as possible.

It's gonna feel like you're getting into a squat.

Now make sure you don't go too deep into a squat and if it starts to hurt your thighs a little bit you can always just come back up.

Okay?

But see how that feels for now and whenever you want you can always come back up.

But this, for the most part, is like the stance of the lizard.

This is like a lizard's body.Right?

Now, The way the lizard moves, is sort of like this.

Kind of, as one leg goes up, the body kind of shifts in a different direction.

Now the next thing we're gonna do is we're gonna make the sound of a lizard.

Now lizards have a very sort of hype pitch, almost chirpy sort of sound.

It kind of sounds a little like a bird really.

So I'm gonna try it out and then you guys are gonna try it out as well.

It kind of goes like this, I don't know if I can hit that high note but we're gonna try.

It's kind of like, [chirpy sounds] almost like a car alarm, almost.

It kind of sounds like a bird meets a car alarm.

So try that out a little bit.

See if you can get that real, real high note and if you can't, it's totally fine.

See if you can put all of those together.

Ready?

Let's try it.

[chirpy sounds] That's it for me.

Thanks guys for hanging out.

Hope you enjoyed it and now as the kangaroos say, [guttural sound] that's bye in Kangaroman.

I'm an expert now so, peace out.

- [Zach] Arts and crafts?

Yes please.

Let's get artsy.

- Hi everyone.

It's Mackie at CMA.

Join us, for a homemade habitat challenge.

A habitat is a natural home for a plant or an animal.

In an animal's habitat, they have everything they need food, shelter, water and space.

In our human habitats, our homes, we also have things that we want like books, games and fun things to do.

For this challenge, ask family members to find their favorite toy and use objects from around the house to create their own homemade habitat.

Use your imagination to turn unexpected objects into important parts of your habitat scene.

For example, I turned this cotton ball into a pillow, this book into a camping tent and this embroidery thread into a river.

Tour each family member's finished habitat with your toy as your guide.

- Welcome back to tie day on Camp TV.

So last week, my Yaya decided to get rid of a whole bunch of neckties he no longer wears.

He donated some to the local thrift shop, gave a few to his friend Larry and then gave the rest to me.

Only thing is, I'm not much of a tie guy.

So, I've been looking for creative ways to repurpose them and give them new life.

One idea, turn an old neck tie into a pouch.

It can be used to hold your sunglasses, a phone or any small treasures that you want.

You will need, a neck tie you've been given permission by an adult to cut up and use, some fabric glue or a needle and thread, some scissors and a piece of Velcro.

Using the wider end of the tie, cut a piece off that's about seven inches long.

Make sure to also leave room for a seam at the bottom about half an inch.

Turn the fabric inside out and stitch or glue the bottom and the sides together.

[cheerful music] Then, flip the fabric right side out and glue a piece of Velcro to the triangle.

Let it dry and before you know it, you'll have your very own pouch.

Thanks Yaya.

- Ready for some math that counts?

Count on.

- [Christal] Wow!

Hey friends, what's up guys?

I hope you're ready to hang out today I think you should grab some paper 'cause we are going to talk about,[drum roll] multiplying multi-digit numbers.

Hey guys, what's up?

So today, I was thinking let's multiply like multi-digit numbers, times of single digit.

Let me just say this, knock knock.

I know what you're gonna say, who's there right?

Keep that in mind because that's what we're gonna do.

We're gonna do some knock knock aha.

Think about that single digit think about it like imagine it knocking upstairs, right?

Keep that in mind , you're going what?

I know, odd right?

This is how I imagine it and then after it knocks upstairs in one place, it's gonna reach over to the tens place and go knock knock in the tens place, and believe it or not, if there were hundreds place it would reach way over there and knock in the hundreds place.

That's just how I imagine it.

Knock, knock who's there, Knock, knock who's there and every time it's like, the product, what is this product, the product, who are products, the product until we get all the pieces of the product.

You'll see in a second.

Come on, follow me.

Of course this is the only method to multiply so let's check it out.

Let's see what's behind curtain number one, 42 times three looks like fun.

All right.

So let's imagine that three, knock knock.

All right, three times two.

Hmm.

Not so hard.

Three times two is six.

Well, that's part of the product.

That's some of the product.

Now the three we'll need to reach up and over to the tens place.

Three times four is, [drum roll] 12 Well, 12 is really in a tens place which took us actually to the hundreds place.

So our final answer is 126.

Not bad.

That, is our answer.

Our product is, the product is 126.

Nice.

Now, time to talk about regrouping.

That's behind curtain number two.

All right, let's go.

So we have 27 times five.

All right.

So, just like we did before, that five is gonna reach up nice and tall to that seven and go , knock knock.

All right.

Let's think about that.

I've turned seven.

We know how to count by five fives.

Okay.

So five times seven is 35 which happens to be a two digit number so we need to regroup.

Make sure when you regroup, that you make it say 35.

Do you see how it says 35.

Good and a regroup of 30 in the tens place.

And I have my five in the ones place because you don't wanna do this.

[warning alarm sound] You know it upsets 53 don't make it see that.

We want it to say 35.

Okay.

So now the five is ready to reach over to the tens place and go knock knock at the two.

Five times two is, well we know that.

That is 10.

Nice.

All right so am I ready to, Oh, wait a minute, I have a three sitting on top of it.

What am I gonna do?

What about that regroup number.

Good question.

Okay so, the regrouping part, I know you were like, simple kind of reminds us of adding, right?

Just pull it over make sure it says what you want it to say, which was 35 not like 53.

Okay.

You caught that.

Anyway, now what do we do with it?

Well, we not knock knock and we did, we multiply and five times two is 10.

Now what do we do with that three.

I hope you are listening cause here comes the mystery.

Guess what, all you have to do is add it in.

That's it.

Say what?

All these mystery effects for that?

Yeah add it in.. That's it.

All right.

Carry on.

Let's go.

Well, that sounds simple enough.

Adding it in we go.

Yes so five times two, we said is 10 that's right.

I'm gonna simply add it in.

Come on let's do it.

Five times two is 10 and then that 10 plus three makes 13.

And as you can see, I circled the three to remind myself that I've used it.

So now, I'm gonna take the 13 and place it down towards my final product.

Which there was no need to regroup this time because the five does not need to multiply with anything in the hundreds plate.

So, the product is , 135.

Nice!

That's not so hard.

It makes me smile.

We are too happy here.

[laughs] All right, let's do another one.

All right 45 times five oh, I'm gonna give you a moment to try this one by yourself.

[gentle music] All right let's check it out.

Well, hello.

One of the fact family favorites type of fear.

Five times five is 25 .

Did you regroup?

Did you make it say 25 or does it say 52?

Please tell me it says 25.

Please tell me it says 25.

If not, just fix it.

Now, your five is gonna reach over and go knock, knock in the tens place and five times four is [drum roll] It's 20, but don't forget, you have a two sitting up talking, waiting, for you to add it in.

And then when you do that 20 plus that two, you should come up with 22.

Giving you a final product of 225.

There goes that smiley face with the two happy hands again.

Okay, you guys are what I call amazing.

So, come join me again we'll do some more cool stuff.

Thank you for joining me on Critical Thinking with Miss Christal.

Alright join me again.

- [Zach] A little birdie told me it's time to go wild.

[classical music] - We're here at San Diego Zoo Safari Park at Tull Family Tiger Trail.

Today we released Joanne and her three, three month old Cubs out to their exhibit for the first time to explore.

[classical music] These are Sumatran tigers that we have here at the Safari park.

Joanne's litter consists of one little boy named Nelson and two little girls named Cathy and Debbie.

They've been very active.

They didn't hesitate at all to come out and start exploring.

They've been running around and having a great time.

Joanne is a wonderful mom she's taken excellent care of this litter.

She's been keeping a close eye on them as they explore all the little nooks and crannies of the exhibit, especially near the pool.

She's keeping a close eye on them and making sure they don't get themselves into trouble.

[classical music] They have very different personalities from one another.

Nelson, the big brother tends to be more mellow and relaxed.

Cathy, the middle sister is a little bit feisty and Debbie is a little bit of a mama's girl she likes to stay close to mom.

[classical music] All the litters that we've had, they tend to have very distinct personalities from one another and from the different litters.

So every time we have a new litter of cubs we get to learn all new things about them.

People are very excited to see Joanne and the cubs out.

We've been waiting for this for a long time.

We've been getting questions for awhile about when they're gonna come out so I think folks are very excited to see them playing.

[classical music] Once they're big enough, they'll be introduced to the other two exhibits.

The exhibit that they're in today is specifically designed for a mom with cubs.

So there'll be in this exhibit for a while and then when they're bigger, they'll get the chance to explore the other two exhibits as well.

[classical music] - [Zach] Daytime or nighttime, it's always time for story time.

Oh hey, I was waiting for you to come back.

Thought I do a little reading in the meantime.

Have you heard of this one?

It's called "Mr.Tanen's Tie Trouble" by Maryann Cocca-Leffler.

Sounds like the perfect way to tie up tie day.

Doesn't it?

It was very early when Mr.Tanenn unlocked the door to the school.

He had a lot to do.

This was the first day back after winter vacation.

As principal of the Lynnhurst School, his job was to get everything ready before the children arrived.

He clicked on all the classroom lights, Oh, fresh paint!

Turned up the heat, ahhh, nice and warm at last and stock the refrigerator with milk.

Brrr, fridge is fixed.

Finally he entered his office.

He opened his closet door and smiled.

Ties, lots of ties tumbled out.

Mr.Tenan was known and loved for his wild and crazy tie collection.

He had 975 ties.

He wore a different one for every occasion, activity or mood.

He slipped on his new Doughnut and Danish tie and poured himself a cup of coffee.

Mr. Tanen arranged his ties for the day.

The Back-to-Jail tie for the teachers' meeting, the School Bus tie to greet the kids and the Pizza tie for lunch.

Then he searched until he found the Swing and Slide tie.

He was very excited.

Today he would announce that the school had saved enough money to install a wonderful new playground.

The children deserved it.

They had collected cans and held bake sales to add money to the playground fund.

Just then the phone rang.

It was Mr.Apple from the school department.

"Mr.Tanen, welcome back" said Mr. Apple, "I've been working on the school budget, "everything that needed fixing was fixed over vacation."

"I've been noticing all mornings," said Mr. Tanen, "fresh paint, steaming heat, and a cold refrigerator.

"Thank you so much, Mr.

Apple."

"Don't thank me yet."

said Mr.Apple, "I just received the bills.

We are out of money.

"The playground we'll have to wait."

"Oh no!

Mr. Apple.

"Can't you find the money somewhere else?

"begged Mr. Tanen.

"What am I going to tell the kids?"

"You'll think of something."

said Mr.Apple softly.

"I'm sorry Mr.Tanen.

I wish I could tell you "that our bank account is as full as your tie closet."

Mr.Tanen sadly hung up the phone and gazed out at the broken down playground.

He heard a clink-clink.

He looked up to see Kaylee and Alex lugging in a big jar filled with money.

"Here it is $148.29 cents "for the playground fund."

said Kaylee proudly.

"New playground, here we come!

"cheered Alex.

Mr.Tanen didn't know what to say.

After school, Mr.Tenon sat in his office staring at the jar.

He sighed, "Now I'm in a real pickle!

"This is not enough money for a playground.

"The kids will be so disappointed."

Mr.Apple's words floated around in his head.

The playground will have to wait.

You'll think of something.

I wish our bank account was as full as your tie closet.

"Hmm as full as my tie closet!"

repeated Mr.Tanen.

He jumped up, opened his closet and shouted, "That's it!My ties!

Lynnhurst School "will have a new playground!"

The next day the entire town was plastered with signs.

Mr.Tanen's Tie Auction, Saturday at 7:00 p.m.at the Lynnhurst Shool.

A tie for any occasion, all ties must go!

Mrs.Sweet Apple noticed the sign on the grocery store window.

She called her husband, Mr.Apple.

"Why is Mr.Tanen selling his ties?

Has he gone crazy?"

Mr.Apple told her about the school budget and the playground money.

The town was buzzing all day.

Mrs.Sweet Apple called Monsieur Bijou at the bakery, who called Cleo at the cleaners, who called Dr. Demi the dentist.

It went on and on until even Zack, the night Watchman at the zoo got the word.

"Mr.Tanen is selling his ties!"

On Saturday, the whole town showed up for the auction.

Monsieur Bijou, started the bidding.

I'll give you $50 for the Doughnut and Danish tie.

Lolly the librarian bought the Book tie.

Dr.Demi was the proud new owner of the Toothbrush tie.

Kaylee handed over her entire piggy bank for the Hotdog tie.

Mrs.Sweet Apple just had to have the Wedding Bells tie and of course, Mr.Apple chuckled as he paid quite a bit of cash for the Crabapple tie.

The auction was a huge success.

Every tie was sold except one.

Mr.Tanen couldn't part with his beloved Blue Ribbon tie.

It was a present from Mr.Apple for being a great principal.

He looked out at a sea of townspeople all wearing his ties.

"Thank you all.

I've always taught my students, "the more you give, the more you get.

"With this money, the Lynnhurst School "will have a new playground."

Mr.Tenan swallowed hard.

"My ties now belong to the town, wear them proudly" And throughout the spring, that's just what everyone did.

But sometimes Mr.Tanen would forget his closet was empty.

He would open it to get a tie, and with a tinge of sadness he would remember.

He only had one tie and he was wearing it.

Then he'd look outside the playground being built.

"You have to give to get," he thought.

Soon it was opening day at the new playground.

Mr. Tanen had invited the whole town to the ribbon cutting ceremony.

He tucked his speech in his pocket, grabbed his special scissors and adjusted his tie.

He wished he had on his official Ribbon Cutting tie.

The school yard was overflowing with people.

Mr. Tanen made his way through the crowd.

Then he saw it.

The playground was tied in a giant ribbon made from Mr.Tanen's ties.

Mrs.Sweet Apple and Mr.Apple were at the microphone.

"Mr. Tanen, you have taught us all.

"The more you give, the more you get," said Mrs.Sweet Apple.

"You have given us a playground.

"We are giving you back your ties."

With that, Mr.Apple untied the tie ribbon and announced, "Mr.Tanen's playground is now open!"

Mr.Tanen and his ties were together again!

He slipped on his Swing and Slide tie and smiled.
