In this lesson, you will learn how to make music using different objects around you, just like Dean did with his xylophone. You will also explore a globe to discover different countries and understand how weather can change in different places. Finally, you will find out how plants grow and even get to plant your own seeds, watching them turn into beautiful plants. Get ready to have fun while learning about music, the world, and nature!
Hey there! It’s a sunny day, and we’re all ready to play in the sandbox with our friends. Guess what? Dean brought a special toy today—a xylophone! It’s a musical instrument that makes pretty sounds, just like drums and bells.
Dean tried to play the xylophone, but oh no! One of the keys went missing. We all looked around to find it. Even though we couldn’t find the key, we discovered that lots of things in the park can make music too!
We tried hitting a shovel on a bucket, tapping a glass with water, and even ringing a bike bell. Each made a different sound, but none were quite like the xylophone. It was so much fun to explore and see what sounds we could make!
Cal showed us a globe. It’s a round map of the Earth that shows where all the countries and oceans are. We learned about different places like England, Kenya, Canada, India, and Japan. Each place has its own weather and special things about it.
Did you know that some places are hot because they’re near the equator, and others are cold because they’re far away from it? We all come from different parts of the world, but we’re all friends here in the sandbox!
Zen showed us a pretty leaf and told us about how plants grow. Some grow under the ground like potatoes, and others grow above like spinach and cucumbers. We learned that plants need soil, sunlight, and water to grow.
We even got to plant our own seeds in little containers. We watched them grow into flowers, strawberries, and even cherry tomatoes on sticks! It was amazing to see how tiny seeds can turn into big plants.
Playing in the sandbox and learning about music, the world, and nature was so much fun! Remember, there’s always something new to discover. So, keep exploring, stay curious, and enjoy every adventure!
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom. Find objects that make different sounds when you tap, shake, or blow on them. Try to create your own music using these objects. Can you make a song with your new instruments? Share your musical creation with your friends or family!
Globe Adventure: Use a globe or a world map to explore different countries. Pick a country and learn one fun fact about it. What is the weather like there? What kind of animals live there? Draw a picture of something special from that country and share it with your classmates.
Plant Growth Experiment: Plant a seed in a small cup with soil. Place it in a sunny spot and water it regularly. Keep a journal to draw or write about how your plant changes each week. What do you notice about the leaves and the stem? How tall does it grow? Share your plant’s progress with your class.
