June 5 - 9 ~~~ Week #1 of our Pirate Theme

Our display table … the children enjoyed decorating the table with my pirate theme items.

Day 1 … the outline of the pirate ship is ready to begin it’s transformation throughout the next few weeks of school.

Clipboard cruising for our sight words written on treasure chests.  When you are finished turn your sheet over and draw a pirate ship.

Roll and Graph which pirate picture will race to the finish?

Pirate puzzles using numbers 1-10  and 11- 20.  Also some clothespin clipping ~ count the number of items on the card, clip the clothespin on the correct number.  Let Mrs. D., check your work.

Pirate playdough mats, creating gold coins, coconuts, parrots, sharks and Jolly Roger Flags with playdough.

Our pirate ship at the end of week #1. It has tissue paper water and the children all participated in painting a part of the ship.  I painted the flags as they were up high.

Creating our own pirate masks.  Lots of color and cooperation going on here.  The children helped each other cut out the eye opening. I put elastics on the back and we went to visit a few classrooms and sang our Pirate song … What Do You Do With A Lazy Pirate?



Mrs. Dickieson was back to visit.  Lesia Holmes is retiring and your children created a book for her of all the things it is OK to do when she retires.  Mrs. Dickieson read the book OK by Amy Krouse Rosenthan prior to the children drawing and writing what it will be OK for Leisa to do after retiring. The pictures involved, camping, golfing, eating cake and ice cream to name a few of the ideas.

A few learning centre time pictures!  The pirate display items are a huge hit.  The children are enjoying pretending to be pirates!!!


We all had a turn to “Walk the Plank” we were careful not to fall in the ocean with the sharks!!!


Before home we went outside a few minutes early and had a game of Duck Duck Goose where we had lots of room to run.
