Summary: After the last customer at his Gram's hot dog stand is served, Mark, who is spending the summer with his grandparent, sails off with Gram and finds a nighttime sea full of moonjellies.


The second time rowing this story was more fun than the first time. The kids are older and wiser.... They were able to learn more about jelly fish and really put there hart into the activities. 


Social Studies- (New England) 
The kids completed a worksheet on the New England states.


Mathematics-( Word Problems)
The children completed a word problem worksheet. The questions related to the story and were addition, subtraction and multiplication.
