I had never heard of Mark Shasha’s first picture book before. That’s why I love Five in a Row so much: it introduces us to such beautiful stories! This story is about the author’s childhood in which he helped out at his grandmother’s popular diner during the day, and returned a moonjelly to the deep ocean by night.
The things we added to the curriculum that were super-fun:
1. Making Our Own Diner, of course!
2. Making a sensory bin: (Note to self: it’s really not necessary to add sand to an ocean-themed sensory bin ever, ever again. Your children will have just as much fun with a bin full of shells and glass beads. And you will be much, much happier.)

Oh you are such a great homeschooling mom! I hope that one day I can follow you!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t wait to have kids and make my own diner and sensory bucket!!!
And, your photos are fab!
What a fun activity! I always loved pretending to ring up people at the grocery store when my mom had me clean the fridge
Love all your ideas! We are getting ready to row “Moonjellies” in a few weeks. Love the sensory bin, even if messy.
Maybe a good one to do out on the deck if it is warm enough.
