Our theme song was this awesome little ditty on YouTube. It’s all about /or/ and /ar/ words, and has a perfect pirate tune that will keep you and your friends singing all week long! 🙂
At the beginning of each day after we sang our theme song, a student also reviewed our Words of the Week using our Captain’s Hook
(a HIGHLY coveted responsibility).
We then started the week brainstorming /ar/ we could see around us or think of. We made a list on our SMART Board and I made this matching chart that night. We also kept an /ar/ Word Collector throughout the week, but I forgot to take a picture – oops! You can read about our Word Collectors here.
(from Amazon) and led the high-seas adventure.
Ultimately, our treasure map led us back to our classroom where we found a REAL treasure chest!!!! (For once, my school-supply-buying problem paid off. Over Winter Break, I purchased a chest of post-its and it came in this awesome container!) Ever so carefully, we opened the chest – just in case it was filled with skeleton bones or snakes 😉 – to find freshly sharpened, personalized pencils from Graphite Pencils.
Using some pirate-themed vocabulary, we also enjoyed writing pirate narratives during Work on Writing during our Daily 5. We’ve been working on adding dialogue, zooming into smaller moments, and adding specific details – pirate week was a perfect time to practice!

Thanks for the awesome ideas 🙂

LOVE this! When you do special weeks like this do you try to theme all your learning to that theme? (for example—was Math, etc. pirate themed as well)?
I love these videos where you show HOW to teach with your curriculum. This is so helpful! More please! The core objective in basketball stars unblocked is straightforward – shoot hoops and outscore your opponent
DR. ODUNGA IS THE BEST SPIRITUALIST ONLINE WHO RESTORED MY BROKEN RELATIONSHIP AND I HIGHLY RECOMMENDS DR. ODUNGA TO ANYONE IN NEED OF HELP! My husband left me for another woman 3 months ago and ever since then my life has been filled with pain, sorrow and heart break because he was my first love whom I have spent my entire life with. A friend of mine told me he saw some testimonies of a spiritualist called Dr Odunga that he can bring back lover within some few days, i laugh it out and said i am not interested but because of the love my friend had for me, she consulted this great man on my behalf and to my greatest surprise after 11hours my husband called me for the very first time after three months that he is missing me and that he is so sorry for every thing he made me went through. He came back to me and now we are happy together. I still can’t believe it, because it’s highly unbelievable. Thank you Dr.Odunga for bringing back my lover and also to my lovely friend who interceded on my behalf, for any one who might need the help of this great spiritualist here is the email address: [email protected], you can also add him on Whats’app: +2348167159012
