AaaRrrr...It's Pirate Time

Here's what we've been up to during the first week back in 2013!

We've been working in our Me on a Map book.  The kids made a map of our classroom and then wrote about it.

This is also when I introduce PIRATES!!  AaaarrRrrrrr!!  The kids go crazy and it fits in perfectly with our map unit.

We read pirate stories and and completed a Braid Beard Character Map.



For Writer's Workshop this week our focus was, "Good writers answer the 5 W's."  Together we created our very own pirate story with Jeremy Jacob being the main character.  It turned out to be quite FUNNY and for some reason they wanted to add me into the story.  Here they are working!!




 And now the story...sit back and enjoy!!

I really hope this isn't how they think I look in the morning!

Should say, "it" not "in."




Of course I wanted to illustrate too!!


Quite the adventure...right?  Stay tuned.  Students will continue to work with maps next week and then will go on a treasure hunt!

I just added pirate work to my TpT Store if you have time to check it out.

    1. Haha, it was me who wrote the story out. We brainstormed on large chart paper but after our story was created I rewrote it on larger paper!
