This month we started with our “Pirates Unit.” I particularly love ding this one with the kiddos. It’s one of my favorite units because it is so appealing to the imagination of children and can be a beautiful event to experience. With a little help, the children can be exposed to a new world, the world of imagination. We will work on how to live in a world that they themselves can create with their minds. In this world, they probably make up the rules as they go along, or they can have no rules at all. Their imaginary world is one where they can learn too. If we adults can incorporate ourselves into their imaginary world then we can teach them about many subjects. We can guide them while they play, even teaching them about pirates.
All the kiddos had an amazing time learning and making pirates craft. We did activities such as hand print boats, paper bag pirates, and they used their imaginations to make a boat with materials that we proportioned. To end the week we played with pirate’s puppets. They did a great job and had a blast!
