Ay, Ay Matey!

Arrrrggggg!!  Being a pirate has never been so fun!  This week was packed with wonderful activities that the children had so much fun with!  For a science activity, the children pretended to be looking for sunken treasures by placing items in water and observing if they would sink or float.

They even made their very own rock treasures to take home with them.  These look just like gold, right?!

To really get into character, we made pirate costumes with eye patches, bandannas, hooks, and a pirate hat.  Some children even brought items from home for Show And Tell.

The cooking project this week was Pirate Treasure Chest Muffins.  The children made muffins and once they were baked, they opened them and put pieces of cut up grapes inside to look like treasures.  YUM!
