Hi kids! Today, we have a fun story called “Beep Go to Sleep” by Todd Tarpley. Let’s see what happens with the little robots!
It’s bedtime for three little robots. They need to dim their special lights called infrared. Do you know what infrared is? It’s a kind of light that helps robots see in the dark!
The robots brush their rotors round and round, clean their shields, and get ready to power down. They look so tired!
Finally, it’s quiet. The three little robots are almost asleep. But wait! Something’s wrong.
One robot says, “I need my coil, my sensor aches, I want more oil.” After getting what they need, the robots go back to bed.
It’s quiet again. But then, another robot says, “I need a light, my fan belt’s loose, my bolts too tight.” They fix everything and try to sleep again.
Oh no! The robots are still awake. They need to stop beeping, talking, squeaking, and squawking. It’s time to go to sleep!
Finally, it’s quiet. The three little robots are… asleep at last!
But wait, what’s that? They need a bedtime story! Somewhere, robots are beeping and buzzing, but not these robots. They finally put their boy to sleep.
And that was “Beep Go to Sleep.” Did you like the story? We hope you did! Come back for more fun stories next time. Take care and bye!
Infrared Light Exploration: Let’s learn more about infrared light! With the help of an adult, use a remote control and a digital camera or smartphone camera. Point the remote at the camera and press a button. Can you see the infrared light on the camera screen? Discuss how this light helps the robots see in the dark, just like the remote control helps change the TV channels.
Robot Bedtime Routine: Create your own bedtime routine for a toy robot or stuffed animal. What steps would you include to help them get ready for bed? Maybe they need to brush their teeth, put on pajamas, or listen to a bedtime story. Share your routine with a friend or family member and explain why each step is important for a good night’s sleep.
Design Your Own Robot: Draw a picture of your own robot and think about what it might need to go to sleep. Does it have special lights like infrared? Does it need a bedtime story or a cozy blanket? Share your drawing with the class and explain how your robot gets ready for bed.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

[Applause]
Three little robots, time for bedtime. Dim your infrared. Do you know what infrared is?
Brush your rotors round and round, clean your shields, and power down.
Oh, they look exhausted!
Quiet at last, not a peep.
Three little robots are…
Something wrong?
I need my coil, my sensor aches, I want more oil.
Better now, then rest your head.
Three little robots back to bed.
Quiet at last, not a peep.
Three little robots are…
What is it now?
I need a light, my fan belt’s loose, my bolts too tight.
Oh, at last, not a peep.
Three little robots are…
Robots, are you still awake?
Goodness sake!
No more beeping, no more talking, no more squeaking, no more squawking, no more blinking, boinking, winking, worrying, or oinking.
Go to sleep!
Quiet at last, not a peep.
Three little robots are…
What now? You need what?
Oh, a bedtime story!
Somewhere there are robots beeping, buzzing, bouncing, squawking, squeaking, blipping, bopping, blinking, boinking, winking, worrying, even oinking.
But not these robots.
