Treasure Hunts!

For the past two weeks, we have been engaged in a unit of study about pirates and maps. We were able to attend a wonderful show at the Flynn Theater called How I Became a Pirate and we enjoyed various pirate activities in the classroom. We also learned about maps and why they are important. One of our jobs this week during literacy centers was to create an island using play dough, jewels, fake flowers and rocks, and craft sticks. We got to bury our pirate treasure on our island and then draw a map to help someone find the treasure. Take a look at our amazing creations!
