Aargh Mateys!!

Aargh!! Today we were pirates! We started out with a pirate hello where we said "Aargh matey!" to all of our friends. We sang a pirate song along with our pirate puppet friend and read a book called "Shiver me letters". It was fun to look for the entire alphabet in the book. The preschoolers made pirate hats, flags, and telescopes at the art table, dug for gold in the sand table, drew treasure maps, and took turns sailing in our pirate ship and walking the plank. In the gym we played a game with islands and treasure. When we got back from gym and read "When the wild pirates go sailing" we found a clue on the last page of the book. It led us on a treasure hunt where we ended up finding a treasure chest full of eye patches! Ahoy!
