Night of the Moonjellies

We just finished our Night of the Moonjellies unit from Five in a Row for Riley and Cole. We had so much fun! This book is so sweet and warm. I could read it over and over.


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!

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!
