A few of the things we learned about are moonjellies, New England States, sea glass, art terms, and new vocabulary words. We discussed character traits like responsibility. We also learned a lot about Maine! We decided to use spiral scrapbooks for our FIAR notebooking this year, as recommended by Sheri and Heather. I am loving using these!
Comparing piers and marinas
We went to see real live moonjellies. Very cool!

The highlight of the week was when we recreated Mar-Gra's restaurant.
We made menus with the items we would be offering and the prices.
We used these cute Mar-Gra's guest checks that I found online to write down everyone's orders and add up their bill.
And we cooked and served! Of course we said as many lines as we could from the book.
What a fun unit!

Love, love the scrapbook idea! I still find single sheets of written work from years ago....I just can't toss them. But, having them all together in a notebook is BRILLIANT!
