FIAR: J & P

Read Night of the Moonjellies by Mark Shasha

Social Studies Day

Geography - Story takes place ocean side New England. (I'm thinking the creator of FIAR must have been brought up in New England and been close with her grandparents, cos that's what about 70% of the stories deal with!).

Discussed why the region is called New England and asked what states make up New England.

Running a Small Business/Responsibilities -

Asked what qualities do you think you need to run a small business? What kind of people should you hire? What are the responsibilities of an owner? - J said, you should be like SpongeBob, not like Squidward. And you know, he's right. So SpongeBob isn't all mush. =)
