Arrggghhh! Today was Pirate day at Lakeside Academy! We also had a new friend join us today- we're all happy to have another boy join our little group, but we also missed Miki and Josephine today. After playing outside a bit we started our day with circle time. We sang our welcome song, did show-and-tell, read some funny pirate books, tried on our new pirate hats and eye patches and played a coin counting game in English and Spanish. Everyone did well in circle time today and we were really impressed with the four younger
boys doing show-and-tell.
In art today we made paper bag pirate puppets. The older kids did a lot of cutting and gluing, while the younger ones practiced with the glue and placing the pieces on their puppets. They all turned out great!
Then on to lunch time- we're hoping that the kids will start eating more lunch after they are used to being with us every week- right now everyone is too excited to sit and eat for very long!
After lunch we went on a pirate treasure hunt. We got our pirate gear on and followed the clues all around the yard until the treasure was uncovered in the sand box. The kids all really loved finding the
hidden gold and jewels.
We went back inside for a little music time with some fun pirate action songs and then it was time to cook with Nana. Today we made vegetable swords and ships. The swords were made out of carrots and cucumbers, the ships were celery stuffed with cream cheese, and the pirates were raisins.
It was fun and yummy!
We finished the day (another hot one) with some sprinkler time.
We were all pretty tired at the end of the day!
The kids are all doing great at Lakeside Academy and enjoying their time together. We'll miss them next week- but look forward to talking about Zoo Animals in two weeks.
