1
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: Today we are going to build something really cool. A skateboard,

2
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: a computer, a bicycle that flies to outer space. Good guesses.

3
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: Today we are going to build a treehouse. Yay. We

4
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: have lots of wood, a saw, a hammer, and nails,

5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: and all we need now is a plan. Welcome to

6
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: story Time by Lingo Kids, where we discover fascinating facts

7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: about the world around us and the fun of play learning.

8
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: Join us while we learn all about measurement as we

9
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: build a terrific treehouse. I'm so excited to play in

10
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: my treehouse. Me too, But first we have to make

11
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: a plan to build it. Let's start out with how

12
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: long we should make our treehouse. Does anyone have any

13
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: ideas Our treehouse should be as long as each of

14
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 1: us can jump? Great idea, Lisa. After the count of three,

15
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: why don't you all jump as far as you can?

16
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: Lingo Kids listeners, If you're in a place where you

17
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: can jump, you can try it too. Ready, one, two, three? Jump? Wow,

18
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: that was some impressive jumping. Everyone, Yes, Billy, it looks

19
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: like you jump the longest. In order for us all

20
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: to fit in our treehouse, should we make the length

21
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: as long as the shortest jump or the longest jump.

22
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: Let's make it as long as Philly's jump. Good thinking, Cowie.

23
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: Now what should we use to measure the width of

24
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: our treehouse. Let's use my feet to measure the width.

25
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: They're really cute feet. Interesting idea, Lisa. In places like

26
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: the United States, we do measure in feet, but we

27
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: don't measure by just anyone's foot. Why not, Well, Lisa,

28
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: what your feet right next to Billy's feet? What do

29
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: you notice? My feet are much bigger than Billy's feet.

30
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: That's right. Now, Let's pretend I was super hungry and

31
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: asked for a sandwich that was one foot long. Lingo, kids, listeners,

32
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: can you think of what might go wrong? That's right, Billy.

33
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: If we used one of your feet to measure, then

34
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: my sandwich would be really small and I'd eat it

35
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: in one little bite. I'd still be really hungry. That's

36
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: why when we measure, we very often use standard units

37
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: of measurement. Standard units means that they are all the same. So,

38
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: for example, one foot is always twelve inches or about

39
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: thirty centimeters. If your sandwich was really a foot long,

40
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 1: you'd have a lot to eat exactly, Elliott, So how

41
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: many standard unit feet should we plan the width of

42
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: our treehouse. How about ten feet perfect? Now we also

43
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: need to plan for how tall to make the ceiling.

44
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm really tall, so I want to make our tree

45
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: house one thousand feet tall. Not fair. I want to

46
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: be tall too. Me too, I'm short. It sounds like

47
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: you both have some trouble not being as tall as

48
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,839
Speaker 1: you'd like. When I'm around the notes, I just come

49
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: up to their knees and I can't even reach my

50
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: bamboo sticks in the kitchen. Are there any good things

51
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: about being short? Yes? I'm really good at hide and seek,

52
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: and if someone drops so cookie, I'm the first one

53
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: that that. And guess what what? You are growing every day? Absolutely, billy.

54
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: Even if you end up being shorter than others, oh

55
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: I taller or taller, you are the one and only you.

56
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: There's never been a better you in all the universe.

57
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: Now back to this treehouse. How about we make it

58
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 1: ten feet tall, so it'll be ten feet wide, ten

59
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: feet tall, and one big billy jump along. What do

60
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: you think of that? Right? Let's build it. By the way,

61
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: who remembers what shape it is? If we have all

62
00:04:52,240 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: sides of our treehouse equal mmmm a cone? It would

63
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: be a cube, Elliot, A cone is what you get

64
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: your ice cream in Lingo Kids Listeners, If, like Elliott,

65
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: you didn't get it right, our episode Learning Shapes will

66
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: help you remember the names of all these shapes. You

67
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 1: can listen to it after we're done with our treehouse.

68
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: Whoh the treehouse. Wow, we did it now. That's what

69
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: I call terrific teamwork to build a terrific treehouse. It's

70
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: just missing one thing. What's that, Elliot? A foot long sandwich? Yes,

71
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: foot long sandwiches for everyone. Let's eat them inside our treehouse.

72
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening so closely, Lingo Kids listeners, I hope

73
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: you enjoyed our time together and learned a little something too.

74
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: Try using your new measuring skills at home or outside.

75
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: What's the biggest thing you can measure? How about the smallest?

76
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: If you are ready for interactive play learning time, explore

Speaker 1: and games to help kids ages two and older learn

79
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: and develop important skills such as communication, collaboration, critical thinking,

80
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: and creativity. That's the power of play learning. See you
