Argghhh! Watch out ye mates - for the Giraffe class has turned into Pirates this past week! We followed clues to treasure, counted our gold, and sunk other Pirate ships! Take a peek at our week if ye dare!


We wouldn't be Pirates without the perfect pirate hat!
Students decorated their hats with pirate stickers.









Pirate science!
The class explored sink or float concepts with 
pirate ships (the green noodles) and treasure. 
We also tried to see how much treasure we could 
put on the ships before it fell overboard!



 A pirate's favorite pet is a parrot and we were lucky 
enough to meet a couple of friendly parrots last week!
We learned that they like to eat fruit and nuts, they can 
talk to us, and they are very colorful.  






We wouldn't be proper pirates if we didn't
hunt for treasure! In this picture, the class had 
finally found the small chest of gold after
a long hunt, following clues left all of the school.
We were very impressed at how the students figured
out the clues all by themselves! 


 Counting our gold!
Students were given a number and they 
had to try and find that much gold for their pile.
 


 We love hearing students read to themselves!



Rainy day? No worries! 
We had fun on our new tricycles! 





 Mapping our way out to the treasure!
The students had to trace the 
footprints to the X.





It was a fun week! Stay tuned for next week's adventures!
