A few weeks ago we enjoyed the book,
Night of the Moonjellies. It is a sweet story about a boy who spends the summer with his grandma at the sea shore. She runs a hot dog stand. One day he finds a moonjelly and brings it to his grandmother. After a hard day of work at the stand, they spend the evening out on a boat releasing the moonjelly.
We really had fun with this book and did several activities. They are listed below:
- Watched two Imax movies ~ Into the Deep and Tropical Coral Reefs
- Used chalk pastels to create a picture of the ocean at night
- Ran our own hot dog stand complete with hot dogs, French fries and milk shakes
- Made a lapbook from Homeschoolshare.com
- We dissected a frog, perch and a clam
- Visited the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta

We loved seeing real moonjellies!

Tom Sawyer did not want to use the boat I cut out. He made his own.

Goldilocks loves to use pastels.

 |
| Little Red Riding Hood really wanted her moonjellies to stand out. |
Blessings, Dawn
Love all the activities. I bet the hot dog stand was cute. I have heard that the Atlanta Aquarium is very nice.
