[Music]

1 what's up what's up what's up what's

up what's up what's up what's up what's

up what's up what's up if you could

travel anywhere in the world where would

you go if I could travel anywhere in the

world it would be England because I was

born there and I'd like to see it again

I would go to Puerto Rico because that's

where most of my family is and this

summer when I went there it was just

great if I could go anywhere in the

whole world it' be Hawaii because I

studied it in school if I could travel

anywhere in the world it would be to

France so I could see the Eiffel Tower I

will go to China to see the great world

of China if I could travel anywhere in

the world I would travel to Japan

because I like their culture and their

food I like to go to Rome Italy so I can

learn a different culture and a

different language if I could travel

anywhere in the world I'd go to Egypt to

see the anent tunes I would go under the

Pacific Ocean because I can check out

the creatures and sharks

whales pretty cool stuff I would

probably go to Tennessee because they

have two of my favorite football teams

college and pro Hawaii because it's a

hot place and you could just sit around

let

relax

[Music]

have you ever tried a burrito in a

Mexican restaurant well these are

burritos but they're bite size thanks to

Heather P of aen Utah for sending us

this recipe for burrito bites here's

what you'll need

tortilla reffed beans shredded lettuce

shredded cheese and

salsa you can use sbot or homemade salsa

if you like to use homemade salsa you

can find the recipe for it on the zoom

website these are just some of the

things you can put on your burrito bites

you could also use yogurt or diced

tomatoes or anything else you can think

of here's what you

do take a tortilla and spread a thin

layer of refried

beans take a big

scoop

reff fried beans are actually just beans

that have been smooshed and fried in a

pan you might want to get around the

edges so that when you roll your

tortilla it stays

[Music]

together

next

take your shredded lettuce and sprinkle

it over the refried beans you don't want

to put too much cuz it won't roll nicely

that looks

good next take your

salsa and scoop it on the

lettuce again not too

much that's

good next sprinkle on some

cheese for a nice colorful

layer I like

cheese now you can roll your tortilla

[Music]

tightly then using your knife

cut one in

slice

pieces the first never works out that's

good so little little don't worry about

it and it works best when you're using a

sharp knife so you may want to ask an

adult to help

you

then take a plate and place your

tortillas on a plate so that you can see

this

[Music]

swirls that looks

cool you can make these at home and if

you come up with your own recipe send it

to

zoom bone

Appetit you got to send us femail send

it to zoom PBS

kids.org

[Music]

ever since I can remember I love the

[Music]

one when I was seven or 8 years old my

mom signed me up for the team at the

YCA that's when I first learned how to

back float front float go underwater and

swim then I joined us swimming that's

where a lot of Olympic swimmers start

out there are four jokes you need to

learn to be in competition they are

butterfly back

jok breast

J and freestyle

sometimes people win by 1 100th of a

second do you know how small that is

take a pie and cut it into 100 pieces

that's

small here's the problem with getting

through the water quickly when I'm

walking like this it's easy but as soon

as I hit the water it's harder that's

because water is much thicker than air I

need to do everything I can to go faster

in the water see all this hair that can

slow me down I could either shave it off

and make my head nice and smooth like my

Dad or I can wear a bathing cap I think

I'll choose the bathing

cap okay what were some of the three

points that you could say everybody Mya

Co you show me all the techniques I need

to know to get through the water fast

son your shoulders have to come up and

your if your shoulders Dr your head's

going to follow right what else about

your elbows tell us I'm going to ask you

to watch to see if you're lifting your

head or your shoulders to keep moving

smoothly through the water in the breast

chill I have to use my upper body to

pull me along that way I can fight the

drag of the water and go

faster my mom and dad always tell me to

have a good attitude listen to the

coaches follow instructions and have

fun and have fun

bye hey francise yes carine how do you

put a baby astronaut to sleep I don't

know you rock it get it rock

[Applause]

[Laughter]

it

ooh

so Zoomers which do you think will fly

better this deltawing flyer or this

ordinary paper airplane well Andrew B of

Mesa Arizona said that the deltawing

flyer will fly better let's test it out

ready all right there paper airplane

first

ready all right that was pretty bad

ready now the delta wing

live

who that's

awesome the delta wing is an aircraft

that's shaped like a triangle that's why

it's called the delta wing because it's

shaped like a

triangle to make one you'll need some

newspaper drinking straws some tape and

some paper clips here's how to make it

tape 10 straws together to make a

triangular shaped frame see there's four

on this side four on this side and two

on this side then tape some newspaper

over the triangle like this and make

sure you tape it down well because if

you don't then the air will pass through

the

flap okay now you want to take a paper

clip and put it on the nose just like

that and you're ready to fly your delta

wing

flyer okay you ready mhm Let's test it

out

okay okay ready

mhm W wo that was really

good let's let's build a smaller one to

see if the size Matters on how the

deltawing fire flies okay we'll come

back later on the show and test it out

okay baseball a poem by Patrick T of

Pasadena

Texas the sport I like to play is

baseball they call it America's favorite

game it doesn't matter if you're short

or tall it can bring you a lifetime of

Fame

I get such pleasure when I hit run pitch

and slide into home on a field called

The Diamond I run the bases I see myself

playing in the

Astrodome with the team of baseball Aces

the pitch is thrown and you hear the

crack of the bat the ball is over the

center field sign as I round to third I

give a tip of my hat

I just got my 71st Homer and the record

is mine the Ovation from the fans is so

loud the applauses the cheers and a

scream I look to the stand to see my mom

so

proud the alarm goes off and I realize

it was all a

[Music]

dream so here's our smaller deltawing

flyer it has two straws on this side two

straws on this side and one straw across

what do you think's going to happen when

we fly them or test them out I think

maybe the larger delta wing flyer will

um Glide farther because I think more

air will pass over and under it and it

will make it go faster yeah me too it

will yeah it will Glide because it

catches more air like because of the the

wide

wider okay so let's go test it out cool

ready yep clear for

departure that was pretty good yeah okay

let's try the small

one whoa

whoa the little one seemed like it was

more like feathery going down yeah and I

think because it was it started tornling

I think it's smaller when it's smaller

the air passes up and over it so it's

going to go on everywhere and so make it

go like right in the big one when the

air just passes under it

cool our small Delta wi flyer didn't fly

too well maybe we should have added some

paper clips to balance its weight that

might have stopped it from twisting try

building a small Delta wi flyer at home

and see if you can make it fly

straight hey

Francis yeah Caroline how do you tie up

a space person I don't know you use

astronauts get it

astronaut oh such a funny one well I got

to take off bye

bye Zoom

tailes Tara the little bellane dancer in

the magic dress written and illustrated

by Jacqueline s of Kansas City Missouri

once upon a time in Indonesia a little

girl named tyara begged her mother to

let her take bellan dance lessons

finally her mom gave in and let her go

at dance the other girls made fun of

Tara because they are much older and she

was awful the first time Tara practiced

a lot but she still thought she was bad

Tara cried her mom asked what was the

matter she told her mom the terrible

things that had happened at dance her

mother said I thought this might happen

your great great great grandmother your

great great grandmother your great grand

grandom and your grandma and I all

started balan's dance when we were ate

just like you we all were made fun of

and laughed at

also so my great great great grandma who

was wise knew a little magic and made a

special dress that she said would be

very good at dancing my great great

grandma tried it on and danced

wonderfully the dress was passed on to

me and now it's time for you to have it

the next day next time she wore the

magical dress she was the best in the

class then her teacher announced that

they would present a big Leong dance for

the president of

Indonesia but when the big day came she

couldn't find her magic press she

searched everywhere but couldn't find it

finally she saw her mom washing it by

the waterfall it wouldn't be dry for a

long time she had to wear a different

dress she thought she would do terrible

without the dress

but her mom said she'd do great so she

decided to perform she danced divinely

everyone clapped even the president of

Indonesia Tara knew she was good at

last the

[Music]

end hey Caroline hey Kenny why do they

make flying

grade class at the Joseph and oinga

Gregory School in Upper calag Alaska

they're a upic Eskimo Community with

only 250 people for their population wow

they teach says that you can reach cows

CAG by plane or by boat in the summer

and by dog sled and by snowmobile in the

winter wow and this is the whole fifth

grade class wow

small four people the fifth grade class

really small yeah I know here's part of

the letter that their teacher sent us

our school has two rooms two teachers

and 31 students when bad weather delayed

our grocery order last week the high

school teacher donated to Moose and we

had a mousse roast for lunch things are

a little different in cow's CAG wow and

they also sent us this really cool

project it's called um a name picture

and uh can you guess what it is it looks

it looks letter zoom zoom there it is

it's Zoom but

backwards Shadow it's like a mirror kind

of yeah see wow or like a shadow it's

the same as you F both legs yeah this

way it looks more like cuz if you P it

the other way looks kind of like the

word moose without the e right and then

this if you put like that looks like a

like bug or something oh yeah that's

excellent cool I have an email all right

dear Zoom to those of you who have to

share a bathroom with other SI other

siblings and hate the fact of sharing a

cup here's an affordable way to make a

personal water

fountain take a Bendy straw and take the

head of the straw under a running faucet

put your mouth on the other end and

suck tasty huh make each one of your

siblings a personal straw if you want to

decorate your straw so you can tell

yours apart from your siblings or buy

multicolor straws so that you can have

each a different color kayn B of Galina

Maryland that's right that's a really

good idea it's neat cuz I I don't

usually share a cup but when I do my

sister usually uses the one so that

would be really neat if I had one of

those that's I'm going to try that yeah

too I have a letter an

email dear Zoom my sister charity and I

Faith would like to learn the Zoomer

special language you know where they say

things like yabby dbby Sabby Lobby

dabby well I don't know it that's why we

are writing faith and charity at of

hepat Georgia

well it it's just it's yeah it's kind of

it's kind of easy like if you were to

it's really hard to get sted but once

you get it once you get the Bas you put

in the word you put an before V every

sound so like cat the vowel is a so you

say yeah but if it's rake since there's

a silent e at the end you don't say so

you be rubing yeah and once you like

once you know the concept of how you

speak it you get it like you don't my

friend she's like how can you just speak

it like that and once you get it it's

you're fluent and you can just keep

talking you don't even have to think

about where the vowels are in the words

yeah and you can always like try the obw
