"Ahoy Mateys"

Our first day started out with me coming into the playroom/school room all dressed up.  The kids were thrilled and began digging through the bag of pirate accessories I had ready for them.  We went outside to board our pirate ship and read some books.  I started out with Pirate Mom by Deborah Underwood.  The kids each got a 'treasure map' that I made for them, got their shovels, and dug for chips of gold.  Then Micah made one for me.
