This is your pilot speaking, Captain Zach.

And welcome to Camp TV Airlines.

It's a pleasure to have you on board with us today.

Our current cruising altitude is... less than one inch.

Now, if there's anything we can do to make your flight more enjoyable, please do not hesitate to ask.

And again, thank you for choosing Camp TV Airlines, where we leave cabin fever behind.

[ Bell dings ] Oh.

May I help you, sir?

Madam?

Octo thingy?

[ Chuckles ] -[ Lips trilling ] -Uh, no.

I'm sorry.

You cannot have a cup for each hand.

It is one drink per customer.

Sorry.

-[ Whining ] -[ Chuckles ] It's fun pretending to have different kinds of jobs.

Some days I think I want to be a pilot.

Other days, a teacher or a firefighter.

Do you ever think about what you might want to do when you're older?

Well, now's your chance.

Welcome to My Future Self Day on "Camp TV."

Now, it's time to get your current self to your first activity.

I've got a plane that needs landing.

♪♪ Arts and crafts?

Yes, please!

Let's Get Artsy.

[ Maracas rattling ] ♪♪ -Hi.

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

I am a theater artist, but I also love music.

I was born in Mexico, and there is a very popular rhythm in Mexico that I like to dance a lot, and it's called cumbia.

So today, I am going to teach you how to make two instruments inspired on instruments that are used to play cumbia.

One of them is called a guiro, and the other ones are maracas, or shakers.

And you will be able to make these instruments with objects that you will have at home.

Since the guiro is the easiest, let's do the guiro first.

Originally, a guiro is made by a pumpkin shell, very similar to a butternut squash pumpkin, and they would cut some lines to make something that, in Spanish, is called ranuras.

They would look something like this texture.

You will need a clean can.

You will need some tape... of any kind that you want.

And you will need some stickers to decorate your guiro.

Another object that you can use to make a guiro is a plastic bottle that already has these little lines, this little texture.

Now, what you have to pay attention is that we want to cut small pieces of tape to cover this part of the can that can be sharp.

So we don't want to hurt our hands when we do that.

And we are going to put tape around the can, but we have to leave a space... where we don't put any stickers, because this empty space is where we are going to play our rhythm.

Now that you have your guiro ready with the stickers and the tape, I want you to go around your house and find different objects that you can use to play the guiro.

I am going to show you some objects that I found around my house that I can use to play my guiro.

I found a fork, a brush, a pencil, a marker.

And this broom is to clean small areas.

Now, the way you want to play your guiro is you simply do strokes up and down and create different rhythms.

So different objects would make also different sounds against the can.

This is my favorite because it sounds similar to the guiro.

[ Scraping rhythmically ] [ Scraping continues ] This is the base rhythm of the cumbia.

Ta ta-ta-ta, ta ta-ta-ta, ta.

We are going to do some shakers, or maracas, also used in Latin rhythms to play music.

The first thing you need to do these shakers is a toilet paper roll.

You need tape.

I am using lentils, but you can use beans, rice, beads, or anything that you can put inside that makes a sound when it shakes.

You may need scissors and paper, or stickers, to decorate your shakers.

The first thing you want to do is to take your paper roll and you are going to squeeze it a little bit on the edges.

Now, pay attention.

You have to press with your finger down... on one side.

And you are going to create this little flap.

And then you just press down on the other side.

And that way... you are creating a pocket.

You may want to use some glue on this area.

Now, what you want to do next... is to put the lentils in and close the other side.

As you see, some of my lentils are already falling out because I didn't glue it yet.

You can experiment before you close it with how many lentils or beans or rice you want to put inside.

Because when you shake it, depending on how much material is inside, it can make different sounds.

[ Lentils rattling ] And you can try the same rhythm from cumbia that goes - [ Lentils rattling rhythmically ] If you want to use some paper to decorate your roll, you can wrap your paper on your roll before... you do the folds on the edge.

Now that you have rolled it around, you just push the edges in, and now you're ready to do your folds.

After you put your beads inside, you can use tape, or glue, or hot glue with the help of an adult to make it stick.

And that's it.

We have created some shakers.

[ Lentils rattling ] And we have created a guiro.

[ Scraping rhythmically ] What other instruments can you create with objects that you find around your house?

-Ready for some math that counts?

Count On!

-Hi.

Mrs. Wilkins here.

I am a fifth grade teacher in Pemberton Township, and can you believe it?

I've been teaching for over 14 years.

Sometimes it feels like just yesterday that I just got started teaching.

Then on the other hand, I run across a student who's graduated high school, and it makes me feel really old.

When I was your age, school age, one of the subjects that I did not like to learn was math.

But now that I'm a teacher, it's actually one of my favorite subjects to teach.

Now, you're probably thinking, "What changed it for you, Mrs.

Wilkins?"

The thing that changed my outlook on math was the fact that I had a realization that I'm going to need a lot of the skills that my teachers are working hard to teach me in everyday life.

I was your age.

I didn't care.

I just wanted to stay far away from math.

I wanted nothing to do with it.

Math is all around you every day.

If you don't believe me, ask the adults you live with.

You need math at every turn and every point in your life.

Let me take you on a journey of my life.

Think about it.

When you wake up in the morning, what is the first thing you use, most of you, to wake you up?

Your cellphone, right?

It goes, "Ba, ba, ba, ba!"

Your alarm goes off.

It's telling you it's what?

It's telling you it's time to wake up.

And the time on your cellphone of your blaring alarm - what is that?

Math, all around you.

Now you're up.

You go in the closet, you choose your outfit, and you put on the perfect outfit.

But wait a minute.

How do you get the clothes that you put on for your perfect outfit?

You have to shop for them, don't you?

Yes.

On the price tags are numbers.

Numbers that you're going to have to use to be able to figure out if you have enough money to buy that name brand outfit that you want.

Or should you save it and put it in a bank account?

Speaking of bank accounts, I always tell my students I like math because I'm about my money.

[ Laughs ] I want to be able to know what's going on with my bank account, if I have enough money to spend and purchase the things that I love to buy, or maybe I want to be able to save for something in the future.

So math is all around you because you got to know those numbers for your money, honey.

[ Laughs ] Now, when you're fixing your breakfast, and maybe you are going to make the perfect pancake recipe, if you make the perfect pancake recipe, you're probably going to have to use measuring devices.

And on those measuring devices, they might have fractions, like one fourth, one third, one half, okay?

You're going to have to know how to use those fractions to make the perfect pancake recipe.

My husband, he loves to bake.

He always is the one who does the perfect measurements.

For me, I like to just dump everything in the bowl and mix it up, and hopefully, voilà, get a tasteful creation.

But he's like, "No, you can't do that."

[ Laughs ] "You cannot just dump everything in the bowl and hope for the perfect creation."

You have to use precise measurements when baking.

Therefore, another reason why you need to know your math.

Let's go a little bit further.

Now, how do you get to your destination?

You ride in a car, you get on a bus.

Maybe you -- sometimes you might ride a bike.

But most of us, we travel by way of car, truck, bus, whatever the motor vehicle that you decide to drive.

When that motor vehicle is out of gas, what do you need to do?

Go to the gas station.

And you roll down your window and you say -- I say, "Can I get $20 of regular gas?"

How do you know how much gas you're going to get for that $20 you hand the gas attendant?

Most gas is given to you by per gallon.

Hmm.

Gallon.

Another math word, huh?

So it's great to understand your math to be able to understand the value of your dollar.

That means how much are you going to get, in this case, for gas, if you give the gas attendant for $20?

So knowing your math helps you understand the value of a dollar.

I get to my destination by way of Grandma's blue Toyota.

That thing rides smooth like a champ.

1998, smooth Toyota.

Wait a minute.

Did I say 1998?

Another math word.

[ Laughs ] Our years are numbers, aren't they?

Grandma's Toyota is a 1998, and we are in 2020.

There's a math problem right there.

I did a challenge where I had my 12-year-old Alani do the grocery shopping and the cooking.

She had to be able to plan a meal for a given amount of money.

So it was like she was the mom for the day.

She loved it.

It was called our weekly cooking challenge.

I would tell her the appropriate amount of money she had to spend, then we would visit the grocery store, and she would have to shop for each item she wanted to use for the meal that she planned.

Now, she had to look at the prices -- what would be the best item to choose for her recipe and still be able to stay on budget?

Now, that all took math.

It was something that she really loved to do and that we'll probably continue throughout the summer.

We called it our weekly cooking challenge.

That's math.

Math -- I use it every time when I'm planning for my family's meal.

I hope that you see now that math is all around you.

Sometimes we're on, like, autopilot and doing math without even realizing it.

As I told you earlier, when I was your age, school aged, math was a struggle for me.

But I was able to persevere and push through to be able to be successful in my life.

And I have a funny feeling that you, too -- you have it within you to persevere, push through, and be successful using math all the time -- not just at school, but in your home life, too.

Alright, guys, it was such fun hanging out with you and going on a journey through my life and how I use math on a daily basis.

I hope this was helpful for you and you're feeling inspired.

Bye!

-[ Mimicking guitar sounds ] Oh!

[ Fake crowd cheering ] Mwah!

Thank you.

Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] And thank you.

[ Guitar strings strum ] Whoo!

[ Laughs ] Man, it sure takes a lot of energy to be a rock star.

I mean, it's fun and all, but it means that I'm on the road a lot, traveling from show to show, city to city.

And the service on Camp TV Airlines is not what it used to be.

[ Descending whistle ] My future self might need to rethink this career choice.

Jump, dance, play.

It's time to get active.

Let's Move.

-Hi, everyone.

It's Jen from NDI.

Let's start.

Today's music will be played by the amazing Adrià Barbosa.

Are you ready to warm up?

Dancers, take a deep breath in.

[ Inhales deeply ] [ Exhales deeply ] Okay, here we go.

Don't let it drop.

Crazy arms.

Switch.

♪♪ Boop, boop.

Boop, boop.

[ Exhales deeply ] Breathe in.

[ Inhales, exhales deeply ] Nice warm up.

-Have you ever made one of these before?

It's a fortune teller.

I used to make them all the time when I was in elementary school.

This one predicts what your future career might be.

And here's how you make one.

You will need a piece of construction paper, a pair of safety scissors, and a pen.

First, fold the piece of paper like this.

Then, fold the piece of paper like this.

Very carefully, cut along this line here.

Unfold the triangle and fold in the four corners like this.

Flip the paper over.

Fold the four corners in again, like this.

Fold the folded piece of paper in half both ways.

Now, you should be able to unfold the piece of paper into the fortune teller shape easily.

On the inside of the fortune teller, write down numbers 1 through 8, like this.

On the very inside of the fortune teller, write down 8 different careers on each tab.

I'm choosing actor, scientist, zookeeper, teacher, doctor, chef, astronaut, and mail carrier.

Fold your fortune teller back up and you are ready to go.

Should we give mine a test run?

Great.

I will need your help.

Please pick a number between 1 and 5.

I'm pretty sure I heard some of you say 5, so let's start with that.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Now, pick one of the numbers you see inside.

Okay, I think I heard 6.

Now, let's lift that tab and see what it says.

[ Whistling ] [ Gasps ] Wow!

I got scientist.

That's exciting.

At least for now.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Write On.

[ Harp plays ] [ Footsteps ] [ Electricity crackling ] -Cast.

Out.

Common.

Words.

[ Shouts ] [ Crashing ] Ugh.

Oh, no, that won't do.

[ Inhales deeply ] [ Electricity crackling ] [ Cellphone ringing ] -Oh.

Hey, Andy.

-[ Speaking gibberish ] -Yeah, sure.

You can come over.

-Hi, Lauren.

-Ah!

Andy!

-Good to see you.

-Good?

Just good?

I thought we were friends.

-Yeah, we are friends.

Uh, uh, uh, I'm confused.

-Good is the most boring word in the world.

[ Beep ] It doesn't tell me anything about the way you really feel.

If we were really friends, you could do better than good.

-Oh, oh, I can do better than good.

Uh, it's wonderful to see you.

When I look at your shining face, I see wonder and amazement.

-I'm listening.

-Also, it feels incredible to see you.

I can't believe I'm hanging out with you right now.

-Oh, you're getting better at this.

-And it feels phenomenal to see you.

You are one of the coolest and most amazing people I know.

-Awe, thanks, Andy.

-Yeah.

Someone would easily want to be your best friend.

-[ Gasps ] Do you want to be best friends?

-Yes.

-[ Both ] Best friends!

-I love hanging out with you.

It feels so good.

And you're so good at all the things you do.

-Good?

Just good?

Andy!

-Uh, I mean, I can do better than good.

You're talented.

You won that skateboarding competition while juggling.

-Oh, that's just a hobby.

-You're also skilled.

You built your own computer.

-That's so two weeks ago.

-You're also very accomplished.

You were the first baby to fly a spaceship.

-Yes, that may be true, but the autopilot I designed did most of the work.

Thanks, Andy.

You really are a good guy.

-Good?

Is that all I am to you?

I'm offended.

And out of here.

-Oh, no, Andy, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean good.

You're better than good.

-I'm listening.

-Ah!

Uh, you're, uh, honorable.

When you found those giant sacks of money, you gave them back to their rightful owner.

-I did.

They needed it.

-And you're considerate.

You always get me a gift on my birthday.

-It's your birthday.

-And you're trustworthy.

You never tell anybody my secrets.

-That's right.

I never told anybody about your intense fear of -- -Ah-ah!

-[ Both ] Shh.

-[ Whispers ] It's kittens.

[ Kittens meowing ] Well, I'm really glad I came by.

And if you'll excuse me, I'm going to eat this enormous banana.

-Whoa.

-And this might seem obvious, but this banana is better than good.

This banana is marvelous.

Superb.

Magnificent.

Delicious.

-Well, okay, bestie.

I'll see you in four weeks when you finish eating it.

Bye -Bye.

Hmm.

[ Banana rings ] Hello?

-[ Speaking gibberish ] -No, I obviously can't hear you.

This is not a cellphone.

This is a banana.

[ Harp plays ] -You know, playing with a homemade fortune teller can be really fun, but it can't really predict the future.

And thinking about a career, be it as a pilot, a rock star, or anything else you can dream up, doesn't mean you have to make just one choice.

What you do is up to you.

So my advice -- keep learning about the things that interest you.

An education opens the door to so many opportunities and can set you up for success.

But for now, try to enjoy being right here, right now, exactly as you are.

Because if you ask me, I think you're already pretty great.
