P is for Pirate printables

Are you learning about the letter P and pirates?

I created a few fun printables for classroom or home use.

 

This pack includes: 

P is for Pirate Do-a-Dot and pom pom page

P is for Pirate letter maze

Pirate word search

Download the pack here.

We dressed like pirates and used our Melissa and Doug reusable sticker pad to put ships in water,

This Peg + Cat pirate Hungry Pirates game is fun to play on the iPad and keeps my son busy during remote learning. It's a great way to practice fine motor, map skills, and counting up to 3! I suggest using a desktop as you need to use the arrow keys. 

We read pirate books and did a pirate search and find in our Disney Junior Fun with Friends Look and Find (check out this Jake and the Neverland Pirates one)

We practiced coloring pirate ships different colors and used our Do a Dot markers to make gold coins in a treasure chest, too!

My son just loves this pirate themed take on the Three Little Pigs. 

He sings along with the video every time!

Here is another pirate video / song that he loves.

Want to learn how to talk like a pirate? Go on this virtual field trip where you will also learn how to read a pirate map, use a sword, and name the parts of a ship! 

 

Finally, who could forget the Jake and the Neverland Pirates? Visit the site here.

Moose Muffin Monday

It's Mixed Berry Mini Muffin Moose Monday!

We read the If You Give a Moose a Muffin book

and made them with jam,

played with our moose and their friends while "camping."

We did Do a Dot M is for Moose with paint markers

and made letter M with pom poms.

We also made a moose

and took a virtual field trip to New Hampshire to learn more about them.

You can still visit our national parks virtually even though they're closed, and all fourth graders in the U.S. get a free national parks pass. Here is some info for you:

We don't have this kids' camping play set, but it looks adorable!

The t-shirt and campfire pillow are from Target.

Firetruck Fun Friday was a hit! 

We played with our wooden firehouse, 

did puzzles, 

Melissa & Doug Fire Truck Sound Puzzle - Wooden Peg Puzzle With Sound Effects

read books,

.  

played inside our fire tent with tools and our firebear.

 

We love going outside to drive the fire truck with fire boots and raincoat on, even on sunny days!

We love listening to the Hurry, Hurry, Drive the Firetruck song and video.

We like doing this Melissa & Doug Giant Fire Truck Floor Puzzle often.

Even Firefighters Go to the Potty: A Potty Training Lift-the-Flap Story is another favorite book that isn't pictured here. It shows people of many different professions using the potty.

This one is another favorite:

My husband is a firefighter, so we have been fortunate to take family trips to the firehouse as well as have him come in as a guest speaker. He reads this book to my fourth graders.

Purchase the book here.

Watch him and his fellow coworkers on the NBC Nightly News for a segment called Hiring Our Heroes (veterans).

If you aren't able to make a trip to a firehouse, check out this virtual field trip.

Pig Pancakes and Pudding

If you give a pig a pancake, 

he’s going to want to make some himself... 

Check out the Melissa & Doug Pancake set here.

and read books about pigs, especially doing the same things the pigs do. 

If You Give a Pig a Pancake book

.     

Babe, the Sheep Pig: Oops, Pig! book                         Oh, What a Mess! book

We played piano, 

Grab the hilarious Potty Piano here.

put money in the piggy bank, 

put stamps on postcards for Mommy’s students, 

played with pigs on the farm, 

did a virtual farm trip, 

and watched Charlotte’s Web. 

We tried to make pig mud with finger paint (my kid hates to get dirty) and then ate chocolate "pig" pudding for dessert.

Watch “Alley Oh” - the pirate version of The Three Little Pigs (my son loves it)

If You Give a Pig a Pancake video

Jim Gaffigan “Bacon” - my kid laughs so hard!

Snag this P is for Pig Do-a-Dot printable.

Frog Fun Friday

Frog Fun Friday! 

We used foam insect stickers, which my son called "phone stickers" - hence the prop he carried! Mine are quite old, so you can use these foam insect stickers to make your own art or game.

As always, we did Do a Dot F with the paint markers and fuzzy pom poms since he loves them so much!

We read frog books like The Very Funny Frog 

(Here's a video if you don't want to purchase it.)

and Frog Gets Lost, 

and played Alphabet Bug Splat with our Eric Carle friends from his Busy Book. 

Grab some fly swatters at your local dollar store and print out some bug alphabet cards.

We also took a rainy day stroll to the lake we live at to look for frogs. Then we hopped to Five Little Speckled Frogs 

and participated in Frank the Frog Cosmic Yoga.

Here are some frog facts we learned.

We also took a virtual field trip to meet frogs and other amphibians.

This Mr. Mouth Feed the Frog game looks like so much fun! You can practice counting, colors, and eye-hand contact.

I personally loved these jumping frogs as a kid.
