A Good Deed at the Beach
Mom woke us up. “No more sleeping!” she said. “We are going to the beach.” “Sweet!” we said. “Have a bite to eat,” Mom said. “Then put on jeans and sneakers. No swim things this week.” “What do you mean?” we asked. “Come and you will see,” said Mom. We got in the car and headed to the beach. I could smell the sea. I could feel the breeze. I like to be on the beach. Then, Mom said, “Read that.” A poster read, “Clean up your beach. Please help!” “We need to help,” my sister said. I agreed. “We will,” said Mom. “That is the reason we came to the beach.” We gathered to hear a man speak. He instructed us, “Pick up trash. But please leave shells, rocks and seaweed. And keep on the beach! Do not get in the water now.” He told us to clean in teams. The three of us were a team. Each team got a trash bag. “Sweep the beach!” the man said. We picked up bags, cans, and more. Mom picked up a green bottle. My sister picked up a string of beads. I picked up a banana peel. “At least I have these,” I said. It did not seem to take long. We put all the bags in a big heap. Then we had a seat on the beach. My sister said, “Now the beach is clean! I hope we can keep it neat and clean.” “Thanks for your help,” the man said. “Here’s a treat to eat.” He gave us a sheet to read. “If you are free, come back in three weeks!” We did not swim in the water, but still had fun. And we did a good deed for the beach!

Hit the Trail

It may be a good day for a hike! Here are fun ways to hit the trail. First, let’s read tips for safe hiking on the trail.



Trail Tips

Stay on the trail. It is the best way to be safe. And that way, you do not harm things in the wild.

Stay with your pals! There may be times when you want to hold hands and make a chain.

Take away those things that you bring. But let plants and animals stay right where they are.



Heads or Tails Hike

Can’t agree on which way to go? The heads or tails hike is best if you like to explore.

Get a nickel and hike until you get to a spot where two trails cross. Flip the nickel.

If the nickel lands on heads, then take a right. If it lands on tails, take a left.



Art Hike

Take paper and pens with you on the trail. Make a quick sketch when stopping to rest.

Later you may make a painting from your sketch. If you have paints in a tray, you may take these on the trail.

Or, you may take clay with you. Then you can make the shape of a plant you see on the trail.



A to Z Hike

To play, look for a thing that starts with the letter A. Say the name of the thing. Then find a thing that starts with the letter B and say its name. Keep playing until you get to Z.



Alike Hike

Look for things that are the same in some way. Pick one thing for the day.

For example, you may find animals with a tail. Or, you may find things that are gray. You may make a list of them to remember the hike.

2nd Grade Decodable #20

Meet the Bats

Is that a flutter over the dark street? Is it a bird? Is it a bug? It may be a bat!

Bats are interesting animals. Do you know much about them? Read on to gather details about bats.

Are bats a kind of bird?

Both bats and birds have wings. So, bats and birds are alike in that way. Bats are mammals, not birds. Birds have feathers. Mammals do not. A bat is the only mammal that can flap its wings and travel in the air.



Can bats see into the dark?

All bats can see. But bats use a different way to “see” in the dark. Bats make calls and then wait. The call travels away from the bat and may hit an object. Then the call returns to the bat. The bat’s brain can tell from where the call is returning.

The bat realizes that an object is near. That way, the bat will not bump into things. Or, it may find bugs to eat!

Where do bats live?

Bats live all over. They live on cold, flat plains or deep in rain forests. Bats may live near you!

In the day, bats sleep. Bats may stay in caves or in trees. When they sleep, bats hang upside down!

How big are bats?

Each kind of bat is a different size. Some bats are big, and some bats are little. The bumblebee bat is only two inches from wing to wing! A big bat may reach five feet from wing to wing.



How can bats help us?

Did you know that bats like to eat bugs? They eat lots of bugs, even ones that bite us. Bats keep the number of bugs down. So, we need bats. The next time you see bats, say thanks and wave!

Granddaddy Spider and the Party

Now, spiders have little waists. But that was not always the way. Here is the story of how that happened.

One sunny day, Granddaddy Spider studied the bees as they gathered golden, sticky dust from a daisy.

“What will you do with all that dust?” asked nosey Granddaddy.

“Carry it back to the hive,” buzzed the bees. “We need lots for the party.”

“A party? That’s funny,” said Granddaddy. “I didn’t hear of any party.”

Granddaddy Spider went home. He drummed on his web to contact his grandkids. They were in each corner of the jungle. “Come home quickly!” he asked.

The tiny spiders scurried home. “What is it, Granddaddy?” they asked.

“Who is going to have a party?” Granddaddy asked.

“It is Donkey,” said a tiny spider.

“It is Elephant,” said another.

“It is Chimpanzee,” said a third.

“It is Zebra,” said the last.

“I cannot believe it!” Granddaddy said. “Four parties? And each is in a different corner of the jungle? How funny! But when?”

No one had any idea.

Granddaddy needed to know when a party started. He made a plan. He spun four long, silky lines. He wrapped each line around his middle.

He gave each tiny spider a line. “Carry these with you to your corner. When a party starts, tug on the line. Then I will know where to go.”

In three days, Donkey’s party started. A tiny spider tugged on the line. Just then Elephant’s party started, and there was another tug. Chimpanzee’s and Zebra’s parties started, too. Here came the third tug and then another.

The tiny spiders tugged and tugged. Granddaddy was being squeezed by all the lines. Finally, the lines snapped. By then, Granddaddy Spider’s waist was tiny. And it remains that way to this day!
