Ahoy, matey!

We have been dramatizing the life and times of pirates this week. We have one small ship where children are creating their own story to dramatize, one large ship where children are scouting out land in the crow's nest, driving the boat, cooking, swabbing the deck, and giving orders of where to sail. One center is a hiding treasure center in the sand area. One person hides the best of treasure, and the others have to guess where it might be. 

New math centers

Creation station- how many cubes do you need to make a tree? 

Bump- using a die within a die, combine the numbers and place a cube on the circle. Bump your partner's cube off if they landed on the same number. Once you have two of your cubes on the number, it's locked and your partner can't get in! 

Geoboards

Market farm - the manager at the restaurant orders some food from the farm, ranging from 11-20 of something like carrots or eggs. He sends the order to her, and she fills it by placing that much food in the tractor. She then delivers it tot her restaurant and the manager checks it on the check sheet to make sure it's correct. 

Pirates!

It's prop week! More photos to come!
