It is great to see you again.
Since we were last together, I did some thinking about all the incredible people in my life that I'm grateful for.
Obviously, there's you, but there's also a lot of people who spend their lives dedicated to taking care of us.
Take, for example, nurses, doctors, first responders, food bank volunteers.
The list goes on and on.
But there's one profession I'd like to highlight today, and that's farmworkers.
Those fruits and vegetables do not grow at the grocery store.
Farming is a big responsibility.
Daily care for crops and plants is essential for producing healthy food.
Many farmers also care for farm animals.
And I love animals!
I mean, have you ever met a goat you didn't like or a cow that didn't make you smile?
How about a turkey's "gobble gobble" that didn't make you laugh?
Feeding and watering, cleaning and grooming, building and fixing are just some of the daily tasks that take place on every farm every day.
So, today I say it's time to celebrate all farmers and their farm animals, too.
Welcome to Farm Day on "Camp TV."
A little birdie told me it's time to go wild.

-Hey, it's Sarah.
The word "yoga" means unity, the act of coming together, and a community is a group of people who come together because they have something in common with each other.
For example, your basic communities might be your family or your soccer team or your camp.
And the really cool thing about communities is we can be part of a ton of them.
All you need is a group of people who you have something in common with.
Stand up, and we're going to practice a pose called Crescent Lunge.
I'm going to turn to the side so you can see what I'm doing.
Step one foot in front of the other.
Step your back foot a little further back so you have more space between your legs, like this.
Good.
Now bend your knee.
And now come up to the ball of your foot so your heel is lifted.
Let's bend a little bit more into our knee.
Good.
You should feel the stretch here.
When you're ready, reach your arms all the way up.
And lastly, place your palms together, like this.
So, now let's just hold this pose for a little bit.
Let's breathe in through our nose.
[ Inhales deeply ] Out through your mouth.
[ Exhales sharply ] Good.
Bend a little bit more.
Breathe in through your nose.
[ Inhales deeply ] Out through your mouth.
[ Exhales sharply ] You got this.
Keep going.
Breathe in through your nose.
[ Inhales deeply ] Out through your mouth.
[ Exhales sharply ] Okay, one more time.
You got this.
Breathe in through your nose.
[ Inhales deeply ] And let it out.
[ Exhales sharply ] ♪♪ So, now I want you to come back to center, and we're going to do Crescent Lunge on the other side.
Step one foot in front of the other, like this.
Take your back foot and step it a little further back.
Good.
Now you should have a good amount of space between your legs.
Now bend your knee.
You should feel a stretch here.
Come to the ball of your foot and lift your heel.
Lift it a lot.
And keep bending your front knee.
Good.
Now reach your arms all the way up.
Place your palms together, like this.
Okay, keep holding this pose.
You got it.
Breathe in through your nose.
[ Inhales deeply ] And out through your mouth.
[ Exhales sharply ] Good.
In through your nose.
[ Inhales deeply ] Out through your mouth.
[ Exhales sharply ] Bend more into your front knee.
You got this.
One more.
Breathe in.
[ Inhales deeply ] And breathe out.
[ Exhales sharply ] Keep practicing your Crescent Lunge.
You got it.
♪♪ By doing this pose, you are a part of the yoga community.
So, welcome.
Keep working on your community journey, and that means reach out to someone who you don't know that well and ask them what they want to be when they grow up or what kind of music they like or who their role models are.
You can create a community with someone who you didn't think you had anything in common with, but by reaching out and communicating, you can create a community.
-Arts and crafts?
Yes, please!
Let's Get Artsy.
-Hi, campers.
This is Ashley with the Ann Arbor District Library, and today we're going to be making sheep.
The best part about this craft is all you're going to need is a little bit of black and white clay or Play-Doh.
So, whenever you're ready, let's get started.
[ Sheep bleating ] ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪♪ [ Sheep bleats ] ♪♪ -Ready for some math that counts?
Count On.
-Hi, everyone.
My name's Norah, and I'm going to show you one of my favorite math games to play at home.
This game is called Shape Sort.
For this game, you need just yourself and maybe a friend.
Today we're all going to play together.
Here's how the game works.
I'm going to show you a shape, and then we're going to do a different action depending on what type of shape you see.
All of these shapes are going to be polygons, which means that they're flat or two-dimensional and they all have straight sides.
Polygons are closed shapes, which means there are also no gaps or openings in any of the sides.
Did you know that polygons have different names depending on what type of shape they are?
The different types have different numbers of sides.
Let's do a quick review.
Polygons with three sides are called triangles.
Polygons with four sides are called quadrilaterals.
Polygons with five sides are called pentagons.
And polygons with six sides are called hexagons.
There are polygons that have 7 sides, 8 sides, 9 sides, and 10 sides, and even more, that all have their own names, too, but for this game, we're just going to use those four.
Now, all we have to do is assign a different action to each different type of polygon we might see.
So, for triangles, if you see a triangle on the screen or a polygon with three sides, let's put our arms over our heads in a triangle like this and then move our head back and forth three times.
Now, if you see a quadrilateral, or a four-sided polygon, let's do hopping from one leg to the other four times.
One, two, three, four.
And if you see a five-sided polygon, or a pentagon, let's do five spirit hands.
One, two, three, four, five.
And for a six-sided polygon, or a hexagon, let's do six slides.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
Alright.
Are you ready to get started?
All you have to do is look on your screen, see what type of polygon it is -- count the sides if you're not sure -- and then do the action that matches that type.
Here we go.
[ Ding! ]
♪♪ I think that's a triangle.

Wait a second.
That's not a polygon at all.
It's not closed on the bottom.
So, no actions.
That's not a polygon.

♪♪ Triangle.
[ Ding! ]
Pentagon.
♪♪ [ Ding! ]
Quadrilateral.
♪♪ [ Ding! ]
I don't think that's a polygon, either.
Those sides are not all straight.
♪♪ We did it.
You all did a great job moving and sorting those shapes.
You can play this game at home with a partner, too.
All you need is to make a big stack of polygon drawings.
Make sure you include different types of polygons and shapes that have different numbers of sides.
Then take turns with your partner being the person who holds up the pictures one at a time and the person who does the actions.
Feel free to make up your own actions and to include as many different types of polygons as you want.
Thanks for joining me.
See you next time.
Welcome back to Farm Day on "Camp TV."
I thought that last activity was pretty awesome.
But now it's time for a... Zach Challenge!
Okay.
This challenge is going to be a little bit different.
There's no clock involved, and all I have to do is draw a picture of a barn.
Only issue is, I have to draw it off the top of my head.
I'll be using a paper plate and a marker.
And this is the barn I'll be trying to draw.
Let's see how well I can do.
[ Exhales sharply ] Here I go.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Alright.
Start with the silo here.
Oh, boy.
Okay, that's a silo.
I'm just going to draw up a little bit to then get the connecting barn.
And...
Okay, and then I got to go back to find the place where I can make the door.
There's the door.
And then just a little bit up for the window.
[ Exhales sharply ] Do I dare look?
[ Gasps ] Hey!
Besides the window, I wouldn't say that's too bad.
That looks right.
Right?
[ Chuckles ] See you after your next few activities.
A little birdie told me it's time to go wild.
♪♪ -Hi.
My name's Chad Summers.
I'm a senior keeper here at the San Diego Zoo.
We're currently standing in front of our sloth exhibit, where we recently had a baby born.
And we're really excited to show you guys.
It's got a lot of personality.
Right now it's eating me out of the house of apples.
And it's quite a pleasure to work with.
It's kind of difficult to get baby off Mom sometimes.
That relationship between Mom and baby is pretty tight.
So it's really nice that I've been working with Mom quite a bit.
She allows me to take the baby off fairly easily.
♪♪ We'd like to take baby off so it'll get used to vets, vet procedures, especially if it becomes sick.
Temperature is a big thing with sloth.
So we just like to get our hands on to make sure everything's going well.
[ Sloth squeaking ] The baby's already starting to venture a little bit, but typically right around four months, three, four months, the baby will start trying to be a little more independent.
Right around the time of weaning, he will start trying to explore the surrounding area so he can kind of get used to climbing, holding on, stuff like that.
[ Sloth squeaks ] Most of the time, they will be in their nest boxes.
There's heaters in both nest boxes, so we make it kind of comfortable for them.
Once it gets dark, the sloth become a little bit more active.
They will kind of search out the bits and pieces of food that I hide for them.
It's really nice to see them foraging naturally.
♪♪ Thanks for hanging out with me at the sloth exhibit today.
I hope you guys learned something.
And we'll see you again very soon.

Since that last Zach Challenge was a bit sketchy, I thought I'd make it up by creating some art you might actually be able to recognize.
Have I ever shared how much I love chickens?
I do.
They make me smile.
They make me happy.
They make me want one.
But no chickens allowed in my apartment building, so this will have to do.
Care to make a Don't Try to Stop Him Rockin' Chicken?
You will need two white paper plates, some scissors, some red and yellow construction paper, some glue, and some googly eyes.
Take a paper plate and fold it in half.
Next, with your second paper plate, cut out a tail.
♪♪ Glue it to one side of your future chicken.
Next, take your red construction paper and cut out a comb for the top of its head.
Glue it on the other side of your future chicken.
Next, cut out a smallish triangle for its beak and glue it in between the plate.
Mm, so cute.
After that, cut out another piece of red construction paper this time for its waddle below its beak.
♪♪ And finally, finish it off with a googly eye or an eyeball, you draw on your own.
Turn your chicken right side up, and there it is -- your very own Don't Try to Stop Him Rockin' Chicken.
