We worked FEVERISHLY on our pirate story today. The kids completed the illustrations. Throughout this process I continually heard kids saying how much they loved writing. Or, "This is fun!" This made my day especially since I find writing to be the most difficult subject for kids to enjoy. All the writing and tiring hands! This is so hard for me to believe because I have ALWAYS LOVED writing.
Here they are at work. We'll be sharing our book, The Deadly Pirates, with other first grade classes.

We also completed pirate glyphs this afternoon. I made a pirate ship and they added their pirates. Enjoy the pics.
Some weren't done and still have to add finishing touches!
I nominated you for an award. Come on over to check it out!

I usually try to incorporate it into our Map Unit. This year they've been right into pirates and most are writing stories during Writer's Workshop. I thought adding it into reading and writing would be fun for them!
