(instrumental music playing) (school bell rings) - Oh, hi there.

Welcome to Learn With Me.

I'm Impact Eddie, and I can't wait to find out what kind of impact we're gonna have today.

You know, I really like to start my day off with a good story.

On my way here I think I heard someone reading in room 57.

Stories, reading, rhyming and counting, they're some of my favorite things.

Do you like those things too?

Rad, I'm glad you do.

Why don't we pop into room 57, and see what book Miss Summer is reading aloud today.

I bet it's a good one.

- Hi, I'm Miss Summer, and I'm so happy you could join us today.

One of my favorite things that impacts my day in a positive way is to go on adventures.

And one way to do that is to open a book, and see where it takes you.

I wanna share one of my favorite books with you today.

It's called Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons.

Now, before I even show you the book let's make a prediction, what do you think the story will be about?

I'll say the title again, Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons.

Your so smart.

Kiss your brain scholars, muah.

Yes, it's about a cat and his buttons.

Before we get into the actual book let's do a little rhyming game together.

It's called, Rhyme Time.

We will use the word cat since our book is about a cat.

Rhyming words are words that have the same sound at the end of the word.

So we can use our ears to help us with listening carefully to the words.

I'll give you an example, hop, mop.

Did you hear that both words have the op sound at the end?

Since they have the same sound they rhyme.

Let's do it with the word cat.

Do you see anything that rhymes with the word cat?

Huh, I see a bat and a ball, now let's listen.

I'll say cat and then the words, and you'll listen to see if you can find the rhyming word.

Are you ready?

Great.

Cat, ball.

Hmm, do those have the same ending sound?

Cat, ball.

(buzzing) No, I don't hear the same ending sound.

Let's try the other word.

Cat, bat, do those words rhyme?

Yes, cat and bat have the at sound at the end of the word.

Let's do one more.

I have the words dog and hat.

Which one do you think rhymes with cat.

Hmm, let's see.

Cat, dog.

Cat, hat.

Right, cat and hat rhyme.

All right, that was a fun game.

Now let's take a closer look at our story with Pete the Cat.

Hmm, Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons.

Let's take a closer look at that word cat.

How many letters do you see in the word cat?

Let's count them.

One, two, three.

There are three letters in the word cat.

Nice job mathematicians.

Did you know a person who works with numbers is called a mathematician?

Now let's take a look at Pete, he is the character in this story.

What is Pete wearing?

He's wearing a shirt.

And what color is his shirt?

Yes, it's yellow.

Hey, I noticed that Pete has buttons on his shirt.

Let's count them and see how many he has.

Can you count with me?

One, two, three, four.

He has four buttons.

Do you have any buttons on your shirt?

I have buttons on my shirt.

Will you help me count them?

One, two, three.

Hey, I've got three buttons like we had three letters in the word cat.

Thank you for counting with me.

Now let's see what's so groovy about Pete's buttons.

Oh, I almost forgot, we're going to be mathematicians today.

And remember that mathematicians work with numbers.

So we need to put on our mathematician hat, and you are going to be doing some singing to.

Once you know the words to the song sing along with me.

Pete the cat put on his favorite shirt with four big, colorful, round, groovy buttons.

He loved his buttons so much he sang this song.

My buttons, my buttons, my four groovy buttons.

Hey, wait a minute, the author said he's sang this song.

We have to sing it like a song.

Hmm, I wish we had some music.

- Hi Miss Summer.

- Hey, it's Eddie.

- You wanna sing it?

One, two, three.

♪ My buttons, my buttons ♪ ♪ My four groovy buttons ♪ ♪ My buttons, my buttons ♪ ♪ My four groovy buttons ♪ - Pop!

Oh no!

One of the buttons popped off and rolled away.

How many buttons are left?

Do you know how many buttons are left?

Let's see.

One, two, three.

I think there're three left.

Let's see if our prediction is correct.

Three, four minus one equals three.

This is how mathematicians write out the equation to show their thinking.

Did Pete cry?

Goodness no, buttons come and buttons go.

He kept on singing his song.

♪ My buttons, my buttons ♪ ♪ My three groovy buttons ♪ ♪ My buttons, my buttons ♪ ♪ My three groovy buttons ♪ Pop!

Oh no!

Another button popped off and rolled away.

How many buttons are left?

Two.

Three minus one equals two.

Did Pete cry?

Goodness no, buttons come and buttons go.

He kept on singing his song.

♪ My buttons, my buttons ♪ ♪ My two groovy buttons ♪ ♪ My buttons, my buttons ♪ ♪ My two groovy buttons ♪ Let's take a look at what Pete is doing.

Pop!

Oh no!

Another button popped off and rolled away.

How many buttons are left?

One.

Two minus one equals one.

Now did Pete cry?

Goodness no.

Buttons come and buttons go.

He kept on singing his song.

♪ My button, my button ♪ ♪ My one groovy button ♪ ♪ My button, my button ♪ ♪ My one groovy button ♪ (gasps) I see that Pete's shirt it's slowly opening because his buttons are all popping off.

(gasps) Let's see what happens next.

Pop!

Oh no!

The last button, it popped off and rolled away.

How many buttons are left?

(gasps) Zero.

One minus one equals zero.

Did Pete cry?

Goodness no.

Buttons come and buttons go.

Pete looked down at his buttonless shirt, and what do you think he saw?

Huh!

What do you think he saw?

Hmm, maybe he saw all those buttons that rolled away, or huh, maybe he saw another cat.

Hmm, let's turn the page and see if what we guessed is what Pete saw.

Huh!

His belly button.

(chuckles) Well that wasn't something I guessed, that's funny.

And he kept on singing his songs.

♪ My button, my button ♪ ♪ Still have my belly button ♪ ♪ My button, my button ♪ ♪ Still have my belly button ♪ I guess it simply goes to show that stuff will come, and stuff will go.

But do we cry?

Oh goodness no, we keep on singing.

Huh, that was a great story.

Can you sing along with me to Pete's last song one more time as we close our book?

Great.

♪ My button, my button ♪ ♪ Still have my belly button ♪ ♪ My button, my button ♪ ♪ Still have my belly button ♪ Wow, you were great musical mathematicians.

You just helped me solve a ton of math problems.

We just read in our story about how Pete didn't worry about his missing buttons.

You know, Pete is a great example of how our attitude, and our mindset can impact our actions.

Sometimes things happen, or we may lose things, or misplace them, and instead of crying you can just remember Pete song, and keep on singing.

In our story the author used describing words that helped us know about Pete's buttons, words like big, and colorful, and round.

Can you help me find some other things that are also big, colorful, and round?

You will?

Great.

I know you'll be an awesome detective.

Wait a minute, do you already spot something that's big, colorful, and round?

Where?

Yes, the balloons.

Those are big, and they do have lots of color, and they are around.

Oh, wait a minute, two balloons just popped.

Huh, how many are left?

Two, right.

Because four minus two equals two.

Hmm, now let's see if there are any other things that are big, and round, and colorful.

Oh wait, do you see something else?

Where?

Oh, well I didn't even see those donuts.

How many are there?

Right, two.

Oh-oh, did you take one of my donuts?

How many donuts are left now?

Right, one.

Because two minus one equals one.

Hey, did you hear that?

It looks like it's time for Rhyme Time.

This will be really quick.

I'll say a word, and you have to find the picture that rhymes.

Are you ready?

Okay, here we go.

Which picture rhymes with mouse, pig, house?

Right, house and mouse have the ouse sound at the end.

Way to go.

(school bell rings) Did you hear?

It sounds like our adventure is over for today.

I had a great time today reading, Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons.

I loved having you show your thinking with me today.

I hope you'll come back to my next read aloud adventure.

Remember your next adventure is just a book away.

I hope today's adventure impacted you in a positive way.

If you want more reading adventures with Pete the Cat books, here's Impact Eddie with some information on how you can.

Until next time friends.

♪ My buttons, my buttons ♪ ♪ My four groovy buttons ♪ - Wow!

That was a cool story.

The colors and the counting, the rhyming and the timing, boy, Miss Summer really knows how to tell a story.

Did you like learning about Pete the Cat's buttons?

Yeah, I did too.

You know, if you wanna learn more about awesome books you can visit a local library, and check out books anytime you want for free.

(school bell rings) You know, the day is long, and there's still so much to learn.

I've been thinking a lot about machines lately but not just any machines, computers, what they are, how they work, how we use them every day.

Do you wanna learn about computers today?

Great, me too.

And I think I know just who to go see.

My favorite computer science teachers from Cucamonga School District, Ms. Lindsey and Mr. Darren are in computer lab 11 today.

So come on and learn with me.

- Welcome to the computer lab.

I'm Mr. Darren, and I'm here with Ms. Lindsey.

- Hi, we are so excited to have you here in the lab with us today.

Mr. Darren and I were just chatting about what an impact computer science has made on our lives.

Do you know what computer sciences?

- Computer science is a study of computers, and how they work.

Computer scientists develop hardware, and software that we use every day.

- Computer science has had a great impact on some major parts of our lives.

- It's changed the way we travel, how we take pictures, and really increased what our phones can do.

- Let's learn about computer science today.

- [Eddie] What's the impact.

Microprocessors, computers have changed so much over the years.

It's pretty amazing that the first computer was the size of a room.

With the invention of a microprocessor we now have computers that fit in our pockets, smartphones.

- Computers are used in so many different places.

- They're complex machines made up of different parts just like our bodies.

In our bodies we have organs like the heart, the brain, stomach and lungs that each do something different.

In a computer there are parts that have different jobs too.

We can sort these into either hardware or software.

- Software is all the instructions that tell a commuter what to do.

These sets of directions are called programs.

We have different programs to do different things.

For example, we use word processing programs to type documents, and video editing software to create movies.

Software also includes games we play, and the browsers we use to access the internet.

- Hardware is all the physical parts of a computer.

Think about the things you can touch.

For example, a keyboard to type, or you can play a game with a controller.

Hardware like these are input devices because that is how we put information into the computer.

Other hardware sends information out from the computer to us.

These devices are called output devices.

Speakers send sound out to our ears, and the screen sends images to our eyes.

Let's play a sorting game, and see if you can sort these into either input or output.

- [Mr. Darren] Well, a keyboard is how I type letters in the computer.

So is this an input or output device?

It's an input device.

- [Ms. Lindsey] Speakers allow me to hear sound from videos, or games I play.

So is this for input or output?

Output.

- [Mr. Darren] The mouse allows me to control the arrow on the screen and to clicked on places.

So is this for input or output input?

Input.

- The microphone allows me to record my voice so the computer can hear me.

Is this for input or output input?

Input.

Great sorting everyone.

- That was a lot we just learned about hardware and software, but the thing about hardware and software is they don't always work like they're supposed to do.

- Tell me about it.

Yesterday my computer froze and it was driving me crazy.

- Well, I told you not to stick it in the freezer.

Your computer froze 'cause you put it in the freezer, come on, not even a little, no.

- Anyways sometimes computers don't work correctly, but it is important to be able to describe the problem as best as you can.

- Yeah, It's like when you're not feeling well.

- Exactly, if you just say I'm not feeling well it will be hard to know how to help you.

- Instead you might say, I have a stomach ache, or I feel pain in my right leg, or my hand hurts because it's stuck inside the cookie jar again.

- The same rules apply when talking about computer problems.

If you just said my computer isn't working to someone they wouldn't really know how to help you.

- Instead we should say things like the computer won't turn on, or I can't access the internet.

Or when I move my mouse it doesn't move the arrow on the screen.

- Let's try to describe the problem that's happening with this computer.

Think about what you see, and what you hear.

(crickets chirping) How would you describe the problem?

- How would you describe this problem Ms. Lindsey?

- I'd say the sound is not playing, or the audio is not working correctly.

- You did a great job giving me details to describe your problem.

That would help me know what to do next.

- Computers are complex machines with lots of different parts.

The more descriptive you are in telling someone the problems you're having the greater impact they can have in helping you solve them.

- One computer by itself can do some pretty amazing things.

But think about the awesomeness that could happen if you connect a bunch of computers together.

- What you're describing is a network.

Pretend you have a pet, and that pet looks like it's feeling sick.

You might go talk to a grownup in your house to see what to do.

If that grownup doesn't know what to do, then they will probably call someone else like a veterinarian.

You end up with a group of people sharing information with each other, and that's a network.

- The same thing happens with computers.

One computer may not have all the information it needs to do something.

So we'll need to talk with another computer to get that information.

When computers talk to one another it creates a network.

Today, we have a huge network of computers that share information with each other from all over the earth.

That's what we call the internet.

- Here's an example of what a computer network might look like.

There are lots of different paths that information can travel through.

Special computers decide the path the information should move through to make it back to the user.

For example computer five needs to send information to computer three.

The information could go from five to computer six to computer three, or it could go from five to four to three.

There are other paths like this one, or that one, but these paths are longer, and less efficient.

Let's say computer seven needs to send information to computer four.

What paths should it take?

- [Mr. Darren] Well, the information can travel along the path from seven to six to four, because that looks like the shortest path.

- [Ms. Lindsey] Nice, what if computer six is super busy and so slow.

Can you find another path the information can travel along?

- [Mr. Darren] Hmm, in that case the information could travel from seven to five to four.

- [Ms. Lindsey] Awesome.

Let's give our friends a turn.

- [Mr. Darren] Computer eight need to send information to computer two, which path should the information follow?

- [Ms. Lindsey] I heard someone say information needs to go from eight to seven to two.

- [Mr. Darren] Well, I heard someone say the information can go from eight to one to two.

- Both of these paths get information where it needs to go.

So both are correct.

When navigating through a network it can be tricky business.

There is a lot of information constantly being shared, and it's important to be safe with that information.

You never want to share passwords, or other personal information like your address, or your phone number with anyone.

- Right, that's personal information that should only be shared with trusted people in your life.

Being safe when accessing the network makes you a responsible digital citizen.

- [Eddie] What's the impact.

Computer scientists, Grace Hopper was an American computer scientist who was very interested in languages used by computers.

Hopper work with teams to develop several programming languages that allow people to give directions to machines using some English words and code.

Hopper was a pioneer in computer science during a time when not many other women were working in this field.

- This new game I'm playing is so much fun.

What are you doing?

I'm programming one of my robots.

Be careful you might make it angry.

- How would I make it angry?

- 'Cause you seem to be pushing its buttons.

- Right, why don't we do some more programming with our friends.

Programming in computer science is when we write instructions for a computer to follow.

The apps you use and the games you play were all done by people programming those instructions.

- Programming is also known as coding.

And when you're coding it is important that you not only give the correct directions, but also they are in the right order.

As an example I'm gonna give Ms. Lindsay directions for making a snack called ants on a log, but we'll need some supplies.

- No worries.

I think one of my robots has got you covered.

- So ants on a log is a peanut butter on celery with raisins on top.

So let me think about the steps I need.

Okay Ms. Lindsey, first open up the jar of peanut butter.

Next scoop out some peanut butter.

Oh, I should have been more specific.

Scoop out some peanut butter with the knife, yeah, sorry.

Spread the peanut butter on one of the celery sticks in the inner part.

Next put the raisins on the peanut butter in the celery.

Oh, I guess I forgot a step there.

Instead open up the box of raisins, and place a few of them on the peanut butter on the celery.

That looks great Ms. Lindsey, this will make a great snack.

For later.

- The directions Mr. Darren gave me are like the steps computer scientists give to computers when writing programs or code.

- Let's become robots, and see if we can follow some coding ourselves.

Wanna join us?

- First, I think we need a little transformation.

Let's get programming.

Let's try right step clap, left step.

- [Both] Right step clap, left step.

- Good job.

Now lets try left step right step clap clap.

- [Both] Left step right step clap clap.

- Nice work.

Lets try right step right step, left step left step, clap.

Right step right step, left step left step, clap.

Nice work.

- How about this one?

Right step left step, do a robot dance.

- [Both] Right step left step, do a robot dance.

- That was fun.

- You did a great job following directions.

- Yeah we followed a programming.

Now let's do some more programming using block coding.

- The robot is trying to get to the battery to recharge himself.

Let's think about the directions it needs to go to get to the battery.

We code the directions of the robot by joining together the correct blocks of code in the right order.

- [Mr. Darren] In this example the robot needs to go right then up then right again.

So you need to join a right block and up block together.

And then add another right block to the end.

- [Ms. Lindsey] Let's look at the path this robot needs to take.

What coding blocks do we need to get him to the battery?

Awesome.

We need a right, down and left.

- Let's look at this path.

What coding blocks do we need now?

Great job.

We needed up, right, down and right block.

(school bell rings) You need a great job coding today.

As you get older the problems you will solve will get more challenging to code.

But if you keep working hard and don't give up you can figure it out.

- It has been great spending time with all of you here in the lab today.

- We did a ton together.

We talked about computer science, and the impact it's had on our lives.

We explored hardware that is used for inputs and outputs.

- We also learned about software, the internet, and how important it is to keep your personal information safe.

- Finally, we explored coding, and got to complete that fun coding challenge together.

- Don't forget we got to enjoy some of Mr. Darren's great jokes too.

- Oh, whatever.

- We hope that you take what you learned with us today, and you go make an impact on the world.

- Yes, get out there and become producers of the newest game or a helpful app.

- [Both] Until next time.

- Wow!

That was amazing.

I can't believe computers can do all of that.

Here I was thinking they could just play videos.

What was your favorite part of today's lesson?

Yeah, that was pretty great.

I like learning about coding, and moving those cool robots around.

If you wanna learn more about coding you should visit code.org.

That's C-O-D-E.O-R-G.

Thank you for learning with me today.

And remember every day is a new chance to make an impact.

Learning with you has been lots of fun, but for now our day is done.

See you next time.

(playful music playing)
