Back to School: Time Capsule beginning and end of year activity for grades 2,3,4,5. This fun time capsule activity is a great way to start and end a school year. Students complete a page of information about themselves and draw an art sample at the beginning and end of the year. You can also photograph your students and include that as well. These pages can be assembled into a booklet for students to keep as a school year memory keepsake. I have used this activity as a first day or first week activity with my 4th graders for years! When I present it to them on the last day of the year, I see amazement on their faces when they see how much they've changed. It has always been a hit!

Jellyfish: All About Jellyfish PowerPoint presentation. This is an information Power Point presentation that gives basic facts and beautiful photographs of jellyfish or jelly fish. This presentation will compliment many children's books and stories that you may be using in your classroom. The presentation includes 16 slides and can be edited to meet your needs. I have included these options to view the presentation: •Editable PowerPoint presentation (best) •JPEG PowerPoint presentation in case your computer doesn't allow my font and changes or distorts the editable version •PDF slides for you to use in whatever way you like. Presentation is a great addition to the following stories: •Sea Jellies Rainbows in the Sea by Elizabeth Tayntor Gowell •Jellies in Unit 2, Lesson 10 of Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Journeys •Jellyfish by Lloyd G. Douglas •Jellies by Twig George •Jellyfish (Under the Sea) by Carol K. Lindeen •Amazing Jellies: Jewels of the Sea by Elizabeth Gowell •Jellyfish (Nature's Children) by Katie Marsico •Jellyfish (A Day in the Life: Sea Animals) by Louise Spilsbury
