Hello, friends! Today, we’re going on a fun adventure under the sea. We’re going to learn about the ocean and have a great time with our friends. Are you ready? Let’s dive in!
Our friend Dean has brought us to a special beach. It’s a quiet place, perfect for building sandcastles. Do you want to help us build one? Let’s get started!
Look at all these amazing seashells! But what are seashells, anyway? Let’s find out together. When we want to learn more, taking a closer look can help us understand better.
Seashells come from animals that live in the ocean. These animals are called mollusks. They use salt and other things from the sea to make their shells. Isn’t that cool?
Mollusks are animals like snails, slugs, clams, and oysters. They make shells of all different shapes and sizes. Let’s see what shapes we can find!
Look at this shell! It has three sides. Do you know what shape that is? It’s a triangle! Great job!
Here’s another one. It’s round. Do you know what we call a round shape? It’s a circle! Well done!
Can you find a shell that looks like a square? Squares have four sides. Let’s see if we can find one!
Mollusks use their shells to protect themselves. Sometimes, other animals use shells too. Look, a little bird is using a shell for a nest!
We can also use shells to decorate our sandcastles. Let’s find some shapes to make our sandcastle beautiful!
Neptune needs a shell with three sides to decorate the sandcastle. Can you help find a triangle-shaped shell?
Great! Now Neptune needs a shell with four sides. That’s a square! Let’s find one together.
Neptune has used different shaped shells to make patterns on the sandcastle. Can you guess what comes next in each pattern?
Let’s try: Triangle, circle, triangle. What comes next? A circle! You’re doing great!
How about this one: Triangle, circle, square, triangle, circle. What comes next? A square! Awesome job!
Today, we learned that shells are made by mollusks like snails, clams, and oysters. We also learned about shapes like circles, triangles, and squares. And we made fun patterns with the shells!
What a fun day by the ocean! Thanks for exploring with us. See you next time, and keep discovering new things!
Shell Shape Hunt: Go on a mini adventure in your backyard or a nearby park. Look for objects that remind you of the shapes we learned about: circles, triangles, and squares. Can you find a leaf that looks like a triangle or a rock that’s round like a circle? Draw or collect these items and share them with your friends or family.
Build Your Own Sandcastle: If you have a sandbox or a small patch of dirt, try building your own sandcastle. Use different objects like sticks, leaves, or small toys to decorate it. Can you create patterns with these items, just like Neptune did with the shells? Try making a pattern like stick, leaf, stick. What comes next?
Seashell Storytime: Imagine you are a mollusk living in the ocean. What kind of shell would you have? Draw your shell and write a short story about your life under the sea. What do you see around you? Who are your friends? Share your story with your classmates or family.

Welcome, ocean explorers! Today, we’re diving under the waves for an adventure. We’re going to explore the ocean and have fun learning with friends.
Thank you for joining us!
Hello, ocean explorers! Today, Dean brought us to a special quiet beach. Dean says this cove is a great place to build sandcastles. Want to help us build one? Let’s do it!
Look at this great sandcastle and all these shells! What are shells, anyway? Great question! Let’s take a closer look. When you’re feeling curious and want to know more, a closer look can help your mind grow.
Seashells come from animals that live in the sea. Their bodies take in salt and other things found in the ocean, and their skin turns them into shells. Animals that can do this are called mollusks.
What’s a mollusk? If you’ve ever seen a snail, slug, clam, or oyster, you’ve seen a mollusk! Shells come from many different kinds of animals, which might explain why shells have so many different shapes.
What shapes do you see? Here’s one with three sides. A three-sided shape is called a triangle. Great job!
Oh, look at this one! This one is round. Do you know what that round shape is called? It’s a circle! Great job!
Now, does anyone see one that looks like a square? I do! Squares have four sides.
These are all really nice shells, and I like all the different shapes. But what do mollusks use their shells for? Mostly to protect themselves.
That little bird is using a shell for a nest! You know what else shells can be used for? Decorating sandcastles!
What a great idea! Neptune, what shape do you need to decorate that part of the sandcastle?
I need one that has three sides. Can you help us find a shell that’s shaped like a triangle?
Here’s the triangle! It has three sides. Now I want one that has four sides.
Sounds like Neptune needs a square! Good try, but a circle is round and doesn’t have any sides. Neptune is looking for a shell with four sides.
That’s right, a square! Great teamwork!
We’re all still learning, finding our way, trying, and smiling as we get better each day.
I found some more shells! I’ll put this square here, and this circle there, and this triangle here. What do you think?
Look, everyone! Neptune has used the different shaped shells to make patterns on the walls of the sandcastle. Does anyone want to guess what comes next in each pattern?
Yes, we do! Triangle, circle, triangle. What do you think comes next?
A circle! That was fun! Can we try another?
Sure! Here we go: triangle, circle, square, triangle, circle. What do you think comes next?
A square! Great job seeing the pattern!
One more: square, triangle, circle, square, triangle, circle.
Yeah! Patterns are everywhere!
Today we learned that shells are made by mollusks, which include animals like snails, clams, and oysters. We also learned about different shapes like circles, triangles, and squares while exploring the shells, and we even made patterns!
So, I guess there’s really only one thing left to do…
What a day! It’s so much fun playing with friends by the ocean!
See you next time! Until then, keep exploring!
