Read the "Pirate Story" by Robert Louis Stevenson and do the minibook that goes along with it.
While I read chapter 1 in the Magic Treehouse Guide on the first pirates, Matt will Color some pirate bookmarks for us to use to hold our places.
Our last activity of the day is to make a pirate craft. You can't have a pirate theme without pirates afterall.
While I continue reading the Magic Treehouse Guide Chapter 2 on New World Pirates, Matt will create a "P" book. Again this is a little young for Matt. (Matt also noticed that for lunch on day 1 he had pizza and pineapple and that they both start with "P" like Pirate does.
Final activity of the day is to create a parrot craft. The goal is to have Matt all decked out in pirate gear at the end of all the lessons and he needs a Polly to go along with it.
Next is to create a pirate hat. Every pirate needs a hat. This is the first of the gear to make you a pirate.
While I read chapter 3 on the Golden Age of Pirates inthe pirates guide, Matt will color a pirate picture with monkeys as the pirates. Matt loves monkeys.
Final Activity of the day is a pirate command game. This game is part of the Ahoy Matey! lapbook, but I plan on changing it a bit. We will play it as "Pirate Says!", otherwise known as "Simon Says".
