Ahoy There, Mates! Ahoy There, Friends! Let's sail in a pirate ship, let's sail in a pirate ship!
Pirate Camp is sailing into the ocean with fun and learning for all! We have 10 pirates on board for this adventure from ages 3 to 5 years. Here's a few highlights from today's class:
We pretended to build our pirate ship using rhythm sticks (fine motor skills, steady beat).
We learned the parts of a Galleon ship (language, literacy)
We sailed our ships around the sea hoola-hoop style using a variety of movements (spatial orientation, physical coordination)
We chose a color for our ship (creativity, literacy)
We created our own foam pirate ships and used our creativity to color our Pirate Ship Coloring Page during craft time (attention skills, following directions, fine motor, creativity)
We played with beach balls outside today (cooperative play, coordination, spatial orientation)
We had Goldfish Crackers and listened as Miss Kathy read "Port Side Pirate Ship!". Then we learned about 5 different kinds of pirate ships (facts and pictures were included in the book).
We had center time with scarves and metal instruments as we danced and played along to pirate music.
We're looking forward to a special day tomorrow as we celebrate our own "Pittsburgh Pirates!" Our young pirates are invited to dress up in their favorites Pittsburgh Pirate gear and join us as we meet some Animal friends of the Pirates. Plus, we'll be playing Musical Baseball during out Outside play.
Shiver Me Timbers! It will be a deck-stomping, helm-steering, good time for all of our Mateys! Aaaargh!
