Unit 1 Animal Park – Day 1
Big, Round World
The world is big and round,
With each great sight and sound,
With animals who swim and fly
And crawl across the ground.
Let’s lend a helping hand
To camels on the sand,
To snakes and hawks and scorpions.
A desert life is grand.
A forest is a place
Where chipmunks run and race,
With bears and squirrels and porcupines.
Please protect their space.

Animals Under Our Sun
Every kind of animal
Lives under our sun.
Fuzzy bees buzz by,
Gulls drift in the sky,
Ducks quack, swim, and fly.
Fast cheetahs run and run.
How can we help animals
Do well under our sun?
Kangaroos that jump,
Camels with a hump,
Skunks up on a stump.
Helping can be fun.
