Then we decided to make a treasure map. We talked about all of the different things that are outside on our playground that we could add to our map. I had the students label their map to practice writing the sounds they hear and to practice labeling. We crumbled our maps up to give them the "aging" effect.
Finally, we made a pirate craft. I found this craft on pinterest, and it inspired me to make one out of paper instead of a paper plate.
Step 1: The students cut and pasted the head to the bandana.
Step 2: The students drew an eyepatch and a smile in marker.
Step 3: We added polka dots to the bandana using the eraser top of the big pencils.
Step 4: I helped them hole punch the ear and add a pipe cleaner earring! :)
ARRRG!!!

Those pirates turned out really cute!! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteI love doing a pirate theme - I always do it right at the end of the year. It means i get to growl at them and tell them to do what I say or they will have to walk the plank. And it's all good. What fun to have a whole school pirate day.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute ideas.....which is why I nominated you for an award! Come check it out!

I must say that's a so creative way to teach the students about a particular topic. We have to be creative while we are teaching the students. architecture statement of purpose
ReplyDeleteCan you share your bandana template?
