Talk Like a Pirate Day 2019 was Epic! ARRRRR! In fact, we were having so much fun learning pirate style that we kept it going for two days! Here are just a few of the highlights. Our classroom was transformed....complete with the Jolly Roger hanging high. The students' faces when they walked in was priceless.
We started the day with a naming ceremony. To be a pirate, you need a strong pirate name. Students chose names out of a skull goblet generate the silly names. The students had new names like Big Buckle Charlie and Fearsome Pegleg Patsy. Some students even put their pirate names on all their papers. Ha! It sure made correcting their work interesting.
We found a mysterious note. The note said that we were captured by pirates that wanted our ship and treasure. If we could follow the clues and answer a series of math problems, we could escape capture. The students had 60 minutes to "escape the room." The students worked so hard! Their cooperation, perseverance, and problem solving sure made this captain proud!
The students escaped with minutes to spare. They even found a chocolate treasure with pirate jokes attached. The students enjoyed sharing their jokes with each other and eating chocolate treats. They also had some time to read pirate stories.
During our pirate days, we also did some writing. Students stayed with the pirate theme to answer the five w's. We brainstormed who, what, when, where, why that would have to do with pirates. Then, the students wrote a poem. The students did some amazing work. Check out their pirate drawings and poems in SeeSaw.
