ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel SmarterEveryDay 3 year old reports on oil spill conditions on Alabama’s Gulf coast
Hello, everyone! Today, we’re going on an adventure with Sadie and Debbie at the beautiful Gulf Shores beach. Let’s see what they discovered during their visit!
Sadie and Debbie started their day by exploring the sandy beach. They were on the lookout for oil, but guess what? They didn’t see any! Instead, they found some pretty seashells and even spotted a clam. How cool is that?
The weather was perfect, and the beach looked amazing. In the distance, they could see an oil rig and some dolphins playing in the water. Boats were moving around, keeping an eye on everything to make sure it was safe.
Debbie met some friendly people from the Klean Seagull Patrol. These folks are working hard to keep the beach clean and safe. They’re hired by BP to drive along the beach and check for any signs of oil. It’s great to see how much effort is being put into protecting the beach!
Sadie and Debbie decided to test the water to make sure it was safe for everyone. After a quick dip, they found out it was perfectly safe! They were happy to know that even a three-year-old like Sadie could enjoy the water without any worries.
Debbie reminded us that while the news might make things sound scary, nature has a special way of healing itself over time. It’s important to stay informed but also to trust that things will get better.
Sadie and Debbie had a wonderful day at the Gulf Shores beach. They explored, learned about the efforts to keep the beach clean, and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Remember, nature is amazing, and with everyone’s help, we can keep our beaches safe and clean for all to enjoy!
Seashell Sorting Adventure: Next time you visit a beach or a park, collect a few different types of natural items like seashells, rocks, or leaves. Once you have your collection, sort them into groups based on their size, color, or shape. Discuss with your friends or family why you sorted them that way. This activity helps you observe and appreciate the diversity in nature, just like Sadie and Debbie did at the beach.
Beach Clean-Up Challenge: Organize a mini clean-up event in your local park or playground. Gather a few friends or family members and spend some time picking up litter. Talk about why it’s important to keep our environment clean and how it helps animals and plants. This activity connects to the efforts of the Klean Seagull Patrol that Sadie and Debbie learned about.
Nature’s Healing Observation: Find a small patch of nature, like a garden or a park, and visit it regularly over a few weeks. Observe any changes you see, such as new plants growing or changes in the weather. Keep a journal of your observations and discuss how nature changes and heals over time, just like Debbie mentioned about the beach.
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hey, this is Sadie and Debbie. Say hello, Sadie! We are at the beach in Gulf Shores. What have we been doing this morning? Is there oil on the beach today? Did you see any oil? I didn’t either. What did we see on the beach? We saw seashells, and that’s all we saw. Did we see anything else? A clam!
Alright, so we’re going back. Let’s head back to our umbrella. It’s pretty nice right now. The weather is beautiful! You can see an oil rig in the distance, and there are dolphins. I don’t know if you can still see it, but boats are still moving around.
There are oil rigs and boom, but everything seems to be okay. This is the Klean Seagull Patrol. Hey, what are you guys doing about oil and stuff? Have you seen anything yet? That’s good! Hopefully, it stays that way. Do you have any predictions on when it might arrive?
Using my southern charm, I was able to get some information from the guys. Apparently, they’re working for BP and are paid to drive up and down the beach to monitor for signs of oil. That shows BP is taking action and is willing to invest in monitoring efforts, which is impressive. I’m also impressed with the state of Alabama for all the efforts that the National Guard is putting into the boom.
So, Sadie and I are going to get in the water to make sure it’s safe for everyone else. We’re going to go, and we will report back if it is safe to be in the water. Are you ready?
It’s safe! We’re going to run back into the water now. Okay! We know a three-year-old is safe, so just in case there were any effects, I made sure to take precautions. I’ve been coming to this beach since my kids were her age, and I hate the thought of it being contaminated.
But be careful what you listen to; if you follow the news, it may sound like we’re in a terrible situation. Nature has a way of taking care of things in the long run. God designed it that way.
