Posted in Summer Fun School

Welcome to the first annual Summer Fun School! We have picked a few themes to learn about and Pirates are up first. All our lesson plans and links used can also be found here on our website.

We are using the Ahoy Matey! lapbook and Pirates Past Noon and the Pirates research guide, both from The Magic Treehouse series. I have also added some other hands on activities to make it more enjoyable.

I also bought  math and reading workbooks for Matt to review his first grade skills during the summer. Don't need him to forget what he learned over the school year.

Each of ours days will be short. Matt's friends inthe neighborhood aren't around until the afternoon, so I have made plans to stop then so he can go run and play.

~Day 1 plans~

Today will be a bit longer I think because we haven't done any lessons in a few weeks.

We will start with the workbooks first every morning, then move onto the pirate themed activities.

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.

Stay tuned tomorrow for our first day in review and our day 2 plans.

Check out my pirate theme store where you will find tons of books, movies, and toys all geared for the pirate lover in you!
