Activities

The Pirate: Someone on TA gave the idea for this book from an out of print book.  The student colors only the part on each page that matches the text. 

 

 

Bulletin Board: This board was created several years ago when the first Pirates of the Caribbean came out (weelll .. maybe not the original :) ) by the kindergarten teacher next door for back to school.  She put her students' names on the gold pieces.  The gold pieces she either made from gold mylar, wrapping paper or something shiny.   After not looking at it for a year of so, when I first glanced at it and saw the block patterns, it made me think that it would be cute to use a bamboo border on it! :)

 

 

 

McDonald's Happy Meal: As of right now (7/15/06), you can get pirate treasure in your Happy Meals.  Yesterday my husband and I were both the recipenents of a talking skull.  Ok, it doesn't really talk, but it does answer yes or no questions.  You ask it a question, then look under it's eye patch and it will show you a "yes" or "no" answer.  For instance, I asked it if I would get a new house.  My answer was, "No way, matey."  Arrrrggghhh!  Someone's going to walk the plank!!!!!!!! ;)

I put the question to the TA group as to how I would use this in my classroom and Lisa came up with the idea of using it in a small group and having the students ask it a question, then graphing the yes/no answers.  You could also teach tally marks by tallying the answers as well.
