Anne of Green Gables Day Two

Vocabulary List: 

Beach
Cove
Seagulls
Friend
Senses
Siblings

Bible Study: 

"A man who has friends must himself be friendly"
Proverbs 18:24 


Who are your friends? What do you like about your friends? Jesus said that we were his friends, (John 15:15).  Isn't that wonderful to be a friend of God!  What does it mean to be friendly? If you want to have good friends you must first be a good friend. Having sisters and brothers is like having instant friends! Treat your siblings well and you will treat your friends well too. 


A Day At The Beach: 

I love how the beach stimulates all of your senses. The smell of the ocean air is so refreshing to me. At the end of the day I like to sit on the beach with my toes in the warm sand. Have you ever buried your toes in the sand? My favorite part of the beach is watching the waves and listening to them crash onto the shore. The sound is so relaxing to me especially after a busy day. (I have a video of ocean sounds for you to enjoy) Swimming in the ocean is fun too except when the salty water gets in my mouth!



You have five senses in which to enjoy the world you live in. I want you to list your five senses in your journal, list one on each page. 

smell  *  hearing  *  touch  *  sight  *  taste

Activities:

1. For each sense you have listed in your journal write down or draw how you used your senses today. Example - what did you eat for breakfast, how did it taste... sweet?...spicy?
Did you play outside? What did you see, smell, hear and touch??

2. There are many wonderful animals at the beach can you think of a few? I have seen dolphins, sea lions, fish and many different sea birds. Today pick either an ocean animal or sea bird to read about. Draw your animal or bird in your journal. This year we studied sea birds and whales and I think my favorite is the whale. They are wonderful mammals so big and majestic! I will post a video so you can see what I am talking about. 


Here is a video of the seagulls too!

"You're only Anne of Green Gables. But it's a million times nicer to be Anne of Green Gables than Anne of nowhere special, isn't it?"
