Night of the Moonjellies (part3)

This is the last installment for our book of the week - Night of the Moonjellies by Mark Shasha. For our fun time, we decided to open a seaside stand that served hot dogs and hamburgers. J was the waitress and I was the short order cook. I made hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries, and ice cream sundaes. J seated our customers and took their orders with a special guest check that I created. She could circle the items that the customers asked for without having to be able to write. She also served them their food and drinks. Here is a picture of the family eating the ice cream - I was soo busy making the food that I didn't get a pic of J being a waitress!

We were going to have our diner on the balcony but it ended up being a really hot day. So we ate in the living room with the klima on. J wanted to be a princess waitress in case you were wondering.

Keke is being funny and she is holding the menu we made. J made the prices and drew the pictures. I think the bill for DH was twenty dollars, according to J's prices.

We finished up our week working on writing a capital letter B with our mini chalkboard. We worked on the life cycle of a jellyfish.

And we played a review game with questions from the book. I found this game at HomeSchool Share.

We watched some videos on youtube of jellfish and moonjellies in the ocean and we played with our sea creatures in a bucket of water. That was our full week of Night of the Moonjellies.
