We're sisters - learning to live in Washington - and both dreaming of ways to earn money without working. We love all things Harry Connick Jr., and anything with chocolate in it. We need to keep in better contact with our family living far and near. So here is our attempt at sharing our lives with you. Hope you have a good time!

Pirates. . . Argggg
In the beginning of November one of my students asked me if they were ever going to study Pirates in a history class. I told them no, but as I thought about it and in trying to come up with an activity to happen after they reported on current events, I decided that we'd learn about the modern day pirates. The best part was that the Pirates helped me by making news a few days later capturing an oil tanker. The Indian navy helped me tie it to my current unit South Asia. So now they are excited about the Pirates and I want to create a Pirate Central area where they can learn about the Pirates latest adventures. I need a catchy name for the pirate bulletin board. Anyone have any ideas? How about your pirate crazy kids?

How about THE PLANK...or Rape pillage and plunder, or Blackbeard, or Black Pearl, Or Johnny Depp
Okay I have a few for you:
The Pirates Lair
Highlights from the High Seas
High Sea Heists (or High Sea Happenings)
What great timing for this fun unit.
I like all of those ideas. How about The Treasure Chest or Captain Hook's Hauntings? There are a lot of good ideas you could use!!
I'll have to go through Lincoln's pirate book and let you know.
