thank you, families, for helping us make x week even better. new puzzles, puppets, trays:
shells in the water table with our playmobil ship from home (we even made the water salty, though i don’t know if anyone realized it!):
and for the first time ever, we rigged up a sail for our rocking boat turned pirate ship!!!
by the end of the week we added a flag that would actually blow when the boat got a-rockin’.
why, oh why, have we not done this before!

ha! what a way to start the day!
its a good reminder to me that instead of those things happening because of someone, they often happen by true accident!
: )
Today I was at the door greeting my kids as they came in the classroom when the shriek of, “TEACHER!!” was heard. I turned to the sound and saw that water was gushing out of the bottom of the sand & water table. I yelled, “Who pulled the plug?” as I dashed for the bucket. The answer was no one! After years of use our sand table cracked in the corner. I suspect one of the boys that was playing there hit the table with the egg beater, but I let it slide. Good thing it’s just water! Since we have carpet, I’m sure it will be a few days till it’s dry.
Your sand table pic made me remember how my day started :)
oh yeah. i think that is FANTASTIC idea.
Oooh! Love it. And you can do it all over again for Talk like a Pirate day in September!
I love the flag ship!
