Shiver Me Timbers, We’re Making Maps! - Pirate Camp Day 3














Today we had fun making a big "class" map where each child created a destination.  See the picture above and discover all the fun places we pretended to sail in our Pirate Ships.

We pretended to build our pirate ship using a different musical tool - bells. (steady beat)
Then we reviewed the parts of the ship.  Pirate Parents - consider asking your child about the following parts of a ship:  mast, crow's nest, hull, helm, anchor, jolly roger, deck, figure head, and sails.

During craft time we made our own treasure maps (creativity, fine motor skills).  Then went out side to play another game of musical baseball -- special thanks to Miss Jennifer for taking those pictures!

Our story today was "Rupert, The Wrong Word Pirate."  Rupert kept getting his words mixed up.  Instead of saying pirate "hats", he said pirate "cats".  Instead of saying the "beach", he said "peach."  The boys helped us discover the right word by finding words that rhyme.  Fun!

We ended today with some bilibo play (kind of like sitting in a bowl).  These were very popular! We pretended the bilibos were our "ships" and we sailed them during the day and at night using twinkle lights.

We're looking forward to our last day of Pirate Camp tomorrow!!
Goodbye for now, Matey's!
