Ahoy again....this week I stuck with the whole pirate theme. I focused the books on sailors and pirates searching for buried treasure. We did a fun activity, I called it "Pirate Treasure Search". The kids had a lot of fun using magnets as metal detectors to find some interesting "treasures" buried in sand a box. I have to say that I kind of lost control of my kids because they kept putting their grubby little fingers in the sand after I told them that it was time to go. Plus the little ones wanted to take some of the stuff home. So next week, we are doing sea creatures. We are going to search for shark teeth and other sea creatures you would find at the beach. I have to use different tactics to restrain them from going crazy with the sand.
