waters a poem by jesse c of grand force
british columbia
sprinkling wrinkling softly tinkling
twinkling tiny brook
running funning hiding stunning cunning
baby brook
joined the grown-up brook
dashing splashing sunlight flashing
stoney grown up brook
joined the river broad smooth river deep
as deep can be
slower slower slower flowing wider wider
wider growing till it empties all its
waters out into the great huge sea
rolling rolling tossing rolling
splashing waves forever rolling into the
great
huge sea
zundo a pinata is a great thing to make
for a party because it's a game and a
treat the party guests can take turns
hitting the pinata until it breaks open
then they can eat and play with the
goodies inside
in mexico pinatas are used to celebrate
the holiday cinco de mayo cinco de mayo
means the 5th of may in spanish
on this day in 1862 mexico won a battle
with france giving the mexicans more
independence pinatas are also used to
celebrate lots of other special days
to make one you'll need flour
balloons
cardboard tubes and cardboard
newspaper
wrapped candies and small toys
and confetti
here's what you need to do
experiment with the balloons until you
get the shape of the pinata you want
i made a dog so i have a big balloon for
the body and a smaller one for the head
then i tape them together with masking
tape
then
i tape cardboard tubes to the bottom to
make the legs
and cut out two small pieces of
cardboard and take them to the smaller
balloon to make the ears
now to make the paste
mix together one and a half cups of
flour
with one cup of water
and stir until it looks like painted
better
if it's still too thick you can add more
water
cut the newspaper strips
into
i mean cut the newspaper into steps
like these
and dip them into the paper mache
squeeze off any extra mixture
lay it onto a little dog
a couple more this is fun i like the
feel of it
it's all gooey
the messy part of the project this is
the fun thing
smooth it out
and lay it on
smooth
then we
stuff the cardboard tubes with a piece
of newspaper
each one
like so
and then paper mache over the leg the
bottom of it
you need to do this so that when you pop
the balloon none of the candy would fall
out because that wouldn't be too good
like that
cover your pinata with three layers of
paper mache and let it dry
when it's dry the paper will turn white
like this one isn't he cute
then
the fun part
get to decorate it
i painted this one
with squiggles
so it looked like confetti
then cut a small flap at the top
and pop the balloon inside
then carefully poke two small holes near
the flap
and thread them
so you have a way to hang your pinata
now you can throw in all your goodies
all your candy
he's one happy dog
oh it's so cute i like this stuff
and then small toys
this stuff is fun
confetti
oh it's all glittery i like it
you can even make your own confetti with
a hole puncher and colored paper
put that in
wow
it's like a world of glitter and fun in
there
add some more candy
just in case i'm the one who breaks it
open
then you can close the flap
throw it under
and you're ready to break your pinata
isn't it cute
later the zoomers will try to break the
pinata
my name is emiliano i am 14 years old
and i live in albuquerque mexico
i like playing all kinds of sports like
playing basketball
i may not be the best basketball player
around but i could do something michael
jordan can
this is mexican folk dancing it's
something i'm very proud of because my
parents are new mexican
i saw my sister in a mexican dance group
and i enjoyed it so much i decided to
join and take some classes
at first my brothers used to tease me
but in english it means the mexican hand
dance is the most famous of all mexican
dances
the sound of the finney is important
because
it keeps the rhythm of the dance going
our shoes are especially made in mexico
made with
nails at the bottom for more sound
and more leverage and balance
mexican hat dance is a love dance
between a guy and a girl
in the dance the guy throws his head
down and the girl picks it up and at the
end of the dance if the girl puts her
foot on the man's knee
it means that she has accepted
i left to perform and dancing makes me
feel great
my advice to kids is don't be afraid to
try something try to accomplish your
goals in life it's fun
hey kenny
yeah right why didn't the skeleton dance
at the party uh
i don't know because he had no body
suggested
goku body
jessica s a book in new york challenged
us to see if we can guess how much mail
is in the z male hamper
the actual number is written on a piece
of paper in this envelope
it's going to be hard because we can't
look into the sides of the hamper to see
how many layers of mail there are
i think it's
three thousand
four hundred
seven pieces of mail three thousand and
seven stamps stuck to the bottom
seven pieces of meal
okay
i think i'm gonna go a little crazy
don't get too crazy now eighteen
thousand
pieces
well here's my idea
let's say this stack of mail and just
put it
oh look look we see how many pieces of
mail go across this way yeah and my
common goal goes this way and then
multiply it by the height yeah
and then we should be able to get it
yes yay okay okay
please take a snack for me yeah
let's make it a little bigger
well that would be an inch right oh
these envelopes are so pretty has to be
an inch thick yeah
let's see how much i think it's going to
be a little over an inch now
yep yeah
take off this pretty envelope and this
one from this one this one okay now
we're down to really pretty end
okay
i think that's an inch yeah that's about
an inch okay
now how many are here in this stack okay
let's go
one for each one two
three four thirty one thirty two two
three three three wow that's a lot of
mail we have yeah
okay okay so wait
four there's thirty three four pieces
per inch one
inch
a male 5
40 30
2 32
there's 33
because you please
that's a funny looking three you got
there you see
where's the pieces of
female email
yeah
okay
now so now we have to see how many
pieces of mail it takes to go across
in different sizes
see one
two
three
four
you need to do that i can just put a
place to drive
i love five and a half
three
and a half yeah always that extra half
oh yeah the length the half always
counts
yeah now we have to measure the height
and inches i have 26 inches 26 inches
high right yeah but the male doesn't go
all the way to the top of the hamper
okay means we have to minus
about
five inches yeah
which makes it
21.
21
inches high into all right
so multiply the length times the width
five
times five is twenty-five oops
grading these over
and 1 4.
then you multiply that by by the height
21
8 1
and then we have to time that by
30 33 right
that's absolutely positively correct
404.25
times 33.
0.0517
oh it's the same here
two one
two one
then step five no
oh
that's four
ah let's see if we got any of those no
one three yep that's right okay so this
is
what we got so far perfect
okay
it's time to check the envelope
and
getting a little invention here
and the winning number is
1720.
hey zoey hey
why did the mouse go to the party i
don't know because he heard they were
playing part cheesy
lots of kids have written to tell us
about the things they're allowed to do
and not allowed to do in their homes we
thought this would be a good thing to
talk about today
so what are some of the things you guys
can do and not do in your homes not much
rules you're not allowed to jump on the
bed or jump on the couch or play ball in
the house and stuff like that uh can i
throw a ball broke twice because you're
playing well now
the basic rule of my house is don't
fight don't annoy anybody and if you
don't have anything nice to say then
just don't open your mouth at all
um i'm not allowed to say like stupid or
shut up or any of those kind of words
yeah
um and if we did we have to pay my mom a
quarter
that's a good way i have to clean my
room every saturday i know i clean it up
like i can leave it a mess but i clean
it up like every saturday
a big role in my family
is you can't just go somewhere and not
tighten my pants yeah that is huge rule
you gotta leave a message you gotta call
the work you gotta go home wherever you
are and always tell when you're coming
home yeah i have a white board in my
kitchen
and every time you go out you just like
if i'm going somewhere that's right
where i'm at like i'm at my friend
andy's house or something and i just and
then they just see that and then if i'm
if i'm out like really really too late
they just call that i always have to
like check in like for my friends
and when i get there i always have to
call
and then but most of the time they tell
me when to come home and i usually i
don't come home my mom told me that when
she was little there were a lot of walls
in the house
and she promised herself that when she
had kids she would not make any vlogs
that didn't make sense to her and she
would let her kids do whatever they
wanted as long as
she knew that there wasn't going to be
something bad out of it so she kept that
promising like she never makes up any
voice for us that she doesn't think that
if she thinks they're not worth it you
know oh and also
i think one major rule is if you if you
don't do your homework then you don't
leave the house yeah um
well my school we get homework on monday
and have to return on friday
so
lucky
but it's something yes you're still one
but um
there's this one show that comes on
every monday and me and my sister watch
it all the time so we have to at least
have done two pages of our homework
before we can watch when i get homework
i have to do it as soon as i get home
from school i usually that's why i
after school i do my homework in the
library and that way i can just go
anywhere after school i'm a
procrastinator which means i leave
things to the left
and my mom wants me to learn that so she
doesn't really set at a time so just
keep reminding me elisa did you do your
homework and usually i do but some days
i'll be like yeah yeah i'll do later and
then by the end of the night when i'm
ready to go to sleep because you didn't
do your homework did you and then i'll
have to stay up and do it and she
she wants me to learn my lesson so she's
not like lisa you don't look now
hey jessica

here's a cool trick from david r of fern
park florida put some water in a glass
take a piece of paper and put it on top
of the glass
hold your hand there and flip the glass
over
then remove your hand and the paper will
stay
pretty cool huh
the paper stays in place because the air
on the outside of the glass is pushing
up on the paper and that air stronger
than the water which is pushing down the
paper from the inside of the glass
