Sensory Table – Sand, Rocks, Toy Pirates, and buried treasure (gold doubloons, golden necklaces and jewels). It looked nicer when I first set it up, but the kids got into it before I took a picture!
Pirate Potato Head
Matching uppercase and lowercase letters. I got this from Teacher’s Notebook (FREE download). There are other matching options, like lowercase to lowercase and beginning sounds. I already had these round letter magnets from the Letter of the Week curriculum (from Confessions of a Homeschooler), I have them on magnets, but you could put them on milk caps (or other round items).
Counting cards with gold doubloons
Magnet page from 2 Teaching Mommies
Adding doubloons- roll dice and place that many doubloons in gold coin (do twice), then add them and place correct number in treasure chest OR pick a number, count the doubloons and divide them between the gold coins to make a problem.
Shadow matching from 2 Teaching Mommies
Size sequence from 2 Teaching Mommies
Pirate spelling from 2 Teaching Mommies
Counting clip cards from 2 Teaching Mommies
Pattern cards from 2 Teaching Mommies (I cut the pattern demo strips shorter so that he can finish the pattern on his own without copying)
Tweezing for treasures – jewels under the sand, tweeze and place in bucket. Hand broom is for cleaning up sand messes.
I also have a few prewriting pages from 2 Teaching Mommies, and some cut and color worksheets from Enchanted Learning (membership required). For my oldest, I printed out several of their spelling, following directions, etc pirate themed worksheets and made a packet. For him this is just a ‘fun week’, he will only be completing the packet, reading time and math. Other subjects are on hold.
We are also listening to Treasure Island Book/CD and will be watching several pirate themed shows/movies. The week will end with a Pirate ship cruise with Hawaii Pirate Adventures!!
We will also be decorating our own wooden pirate treasure chests!

So much fun. I want a sensory table like yours. We have a sand box but the water side of the table seems like a nice place for them to play in or wash their toys.
ReplyDeleteI also like the idea of tweezing for toys. :)
