The Princess & the Pirate


Our day began as it always does, chatting with friends, signing in, building, and dramatic play...










We headed outside, where the Catbirds attended the highly recommended 5-Star restaurant, The Princess & the Pirate.


This dining experience consists of our in-house chef serving her specialties. Today: apples, bananas, cheese, and pita with hummus.


The arbitrary prices range from a mere 50 cents to an absurd $72, making The Princess & the Pirate always feel new and exciting. Many have described the atmosphere as childlike and playful.





We ate, and we made scrunchy faces...









We then headed to the courtyard for music class









We sang about Swimmy Fish, who meets many other sea creatures




"Swimmy Fish, Swimmy Fish, what do you see? I see a lobster staring at me!"








Friends transformed into different underwater animals, moving their bodies differently depending on the creature. 



There were starfish



And jelly fish, eels, lobsters, and more

















Then, we practiced The Mexican Hat Dance, which the Catbirds are becoming increasingly skilled at performing.












After music, we headed back to the Outdoor Classroom. Some Catbirds worked on their superhero portraits, using Mod Podge to glue them to wooden boards.












Songs were sung (about cats!)




Cakes were baked



Friends helped friends across the monkey bars


Inch worms were found





And general springtime fun was had!
