Did I tell you how much my student teacher rocks? Well, she does. A lot. She has been so professional, dedicated, and creative. It's so fun to watch her grow and take on each challenge I throw her way.
Like this one.
Sweet student teacher (henceforth SST) created a rockin' treasure hunt to help my students learn about the western region of the United States. The premise was they had to find No Beard the Pirate's treasure in the West by following clues around the school.
Not only was it fun an exciting, but they learned a ton!
Here are some pics of the hunt in progress. I loved that she had everyone dress in their team colors!

| Blue Team is almost ready to look for clue #2! |
One of the stops included our school secretary showing the students how to hula! And SST provided leis as a souvenir of their stop before getting another clue.
Our secretary went above and beyond by dressing up and playing hula music in her office! It was the total highlight!
At the end, the clues led right back to our own classroom where No Beard's (chocolate) gold treasure was waiting!

The Pink Team tells one fact they learned before getting their gold!

I am so grateful to SST for working so hard on this lesson and can't WAIT to use it again next year!
