In this lesson, you will learn to identify different animals you might see at the beach, like crabs, sea lions, and sea turtles. You’ll discover how these animals find food and explore the sand for treasures like shells and starfish. You will also understand the importance of keeping our parks and beaches clean by picking up trash and recycling. Finally, you’ll be encouraged to stay curious and keep exploring the wonderful world around you!
Let’s go on a fun adventure to the beach and meet some amazing animals! First, we see a crab scuttling across the sand. Then, we spot a playful sea lion splashing in the water. Look up! There’s a seagull flying high in the sky. Isn’t it exciting to see all these animals?
Welcome to the Amazing Wheel of Music! Give it a spin and let’s find out which animal song we’ll hear next. Spin, spin, spin… it’s the Sandpiper! This little bird is busy using her beak to find food in the sand. She pokes around and finds a yummy worm. Yum, yum!
Let’s explore the sand together! We can find shells, starfish, and even driftwood. Dig, dig, dig! What treasures can we find? The Sandpiper found her food, and now she’s happy. Exploring the beach is so much fun!
Now it’s time for Cal to spin the wheel. Spin, spin, spin… it’s a sea turtle! She’s swimming gracefully in the sea. It’s almost dinner time for her. Let’s see what new foods she might try. Trying new things can be exciting!
After our beach adventure, let’s head to the park to play! The grass is green, and the sky is blue. We can climb, jump, and spin on the merry-go-round. Playing with friends is the best!
Before we go home, let’s make sure we clean up. We want the park to be nice for everyone. Let’s pick up any trash we see and put it in the right bins. We can help keep the land and ocean clean by recycling and composting.
We can help the environment by reusing things and recycling. Put leaves and fruit peels in the green bin for composting. Recycle glass, paper, and plastic in the blue bin. Anything else goes in the black bin. Working together, we can keep our world clean and beautiful!
Thanks for joining us on this adventure! Keep exploring and learning about the amazing world around you. Whether it’s at the beach, in the park, or anywhere else, there’s always something new to discover. See you next time!
Beach Animal Hunt: Next time you visit a beach or a park, try to spot different animals like crabs, birds, or even turtles. Bring a small notebook and draw the animals you see. Can you count how many different animals you find? Share your drawings with your friends and family!
Make Your Own Sand Art: Collect some sand, small shells, and pebbles. At home, use a tray or a piece of paper to create your own beach scene. Arrange the sand, shells, and pebbles to make a picture. What story does your sand art tell? Show your creation to your class and explain the story behind it.
Recycling Detective: Become a recycling detective at home! Look around your house and find items that can be recycled, like paper, plastic, or glass. With the help of an adult, sort these items into the correct recycling bins. Can you think of ways to reuse some of these items instead of throwing them away?
