宝探し：手がかりを解き、宝物を見つけ、見せて共有する

Students will work their way through a treasure map listening to and solving clues. As each clue is solved students will search through their homes for an item that fits the clue.  (For example:  “When I’m tired and want to sleep, I might want this to hold and to keep.”) Once they have found one item that fits the clue, (there are sometimes multiple items that will work for each clue), they will have an opportunity to show and share it, being encouraged to think of descriptive words (adjectives) and create complete sentences with those words.  (For example:  “My stuffed tiger is soft and cuddly.”)

To promote a fun and safe environment for all, at the beginning of class we will go over the Treasure Hunt Rules.  
1)  We are here to learn and have fun.  Sometimes the clues can be solved in more than one way.  If someone has a different idea than us that is not only okay but it's great.
2)  If you can’t figure out the clue that is okay too.  We will help you as a group if you need it.
3)  When it is someone else’s turn to speak we will give them our attention and listen. 
4)  When we are done class we will put our items back where we found them. 

Each class will have a different topic.  Once we have worked our way through all of the topics the rotation will start again.  This way, no matter when you join, if you stay enrolled long enough, you will have the opportunity to go through each topic.
