Springtime in the Ocean

Corinne Gurtler Grade 1 Elijah Smith Elementary School Performed by the whole class Musical accompaniment by Jon Heaton Quicktime Version Flash Version Somewhere in the Ocean Ward, J., & Marsh, T.J. (2000). Somewhere in the ocean. Scholastic. Somewhere in the ocean where the warm waters run Lived a mother manatee and her little calf one. Nibble! said the mother. I nibble! said the one, So they nibbled sea lettuce where the warm waters run. Somewhere in the ocean in the waters clear and blue Lived a pod of orca whales and their little calves two. Splash! said the mothers. We splash! said the two, So they jumped and they splashed in the waters clear and blue. Somewhere in the ocean in a sea anemone Lived a mother clown fish and her baby fish three. Nestle! said the mother. We nestle! said the three, So they nestled safe and snug in their sea anemone. Somewhere in the ocean in tide pool by the shore Lived a mother hermit crab and her baby crabs four. Dress! said the mother. We dress! said the four, So they tried on different shells in their tide pool by the shore. Somewhere in the ocean where the kelp forests thrive Lived a raft of sea otters and their baby otters five. Munch! said the mothers. We munch! said the five, So they munched prickly urchins where the kelp forests thrive. Somewhere in the ocean where the seas and rivers mix Lived a mother tiger shark and her little pups six. Cruise! said the mother. We cruise! said the six, So they cruised and they hunted where the seas and rivers mix. Somewhere in the ocean where the sea grass grows so even Lived a father sea horse and his wee babies seven. Hold on! said the father. We hold on! said the seven, So they held and they swayed where the sea grass grows so even. Somewhere in the ocean where the water shimmers late Lived a mother sea turtle and her baby turtles eight. Paddle! said the mother. We paddle! said the eight, So they paddled in the moonlight where the water shimmers late. Somewhere in the ocean drifting slowly in a line Lived a mother jellyfish and her baby jellies nine. Zap! said the mother. We zap! said the nine, So they zapped tasty tidbits as they drifted in a line. Somewhere in the ocean in a coral reef den Lived a mother octopus and her little babies ten. Squirt! said the mother. We squirt! said the ten, So they squirted and they played in their coral reef den. Posted by Cam on 6/12/07; 11:47:13 AM from the Elijah Smith Elementary dept. -
