Ahoy ye landlubbers! T'day we be celebratin' International Talk Like a Pirate Day. We started out t'day by readin' "Jolly Roger and t' Pirates o' Captain Abdul" and then jumped starboard into Babblin' Abby's "Pirate Mark" unit. T' sprogs were shocked when Pirate Bert burst into t' classroom t' read them "How I Became a Pirate" and answer questions all about pirates and "how come he has a watch?"
One skeptical "tiny teacher" said that "he must be real, 'cause Miss Dennis wouldn't invite a fake pirate to our classroom on Talk Like a Pirate Day" (love it!).
after we put "Pirate Mark" in our poetry notebooks, we added this little handprint swashbuckler to the left page!
