Making Jellyfish

 In our study of sequence in non-fiction text, the students read about jellyfish last week and this week we made our own. First they were presented with the directions and then one was modeled for them.

The result: A beautiful sea of colorful jellyfish in our hall.
What's even better? Our jellyfish don't sting.

How to Make a Jellyfish

1. First, color the jellyfish’s body outline.

2. Next, cut out the jellyfish’s body by cutting along the outside and inside lines.Throw away the inside and outside scraps

3. Then, glue the body outline to the tissue paper to complete your jellyfish’s body.

4. Last choose ribbon, streamers, or yarn (4 of each) to glue to the bottom of your jellyfish to make his tentacles. 

Swim Lessons

Today was our first day of swim lessons at the Y! Judging by the comments coming from the kids as they returned to school, everyone had a great time. "Best Day Ever!" was overhead by one child. We swim next on Wednesday. Our swim days are Monday and Wednesday. Please don't forget to send a swimsuit, a towel and a bag with your child on these days.
