Arrr you getting excited?

International Speak Like a Pirate Day is September 19th. Are you getting excited? I am! I love any excuse to bring more fun into the classroom. And what is more fun than pirates? In preparation for Speak Like a Pirate Day I am working on creating some fun pirate resources. Today I finished Pirate Puns - Classroom Management Using Jokes and updated Text Features Treasure Hunt. I plan to work on some more this weekend. Hubby is out of town for a race, so I am keeping myself busy.

I wanted to do all I could to help you get ready. Look at some of the fun FREE resources I have found:

Pirate Math Fast Finishers by yours truly - sudoku, and simple +/- regrouping

Pirate Adventures from Mrs. Freshwater's Class - CVC creation, 1 more 1 less

Pirate Color Charts from Mrs. Jump's Class - Click on the picture of the colored bears. Perfect for team posters.

Pirates Positional Words Interactive Book from Sped-ventures - Link in the middle of the post.

Pirate Classroom Dubloons from Sailing Through 1st Grade - Link at the bottom of the post.

Pirate Writing Pages from Jeremie Llorente
Write the Room -ar Words from First Grade Chatter
Place Value Pirates from Karen Pederson
Pirate Ten Frames from Math Coach's Corner

I would love to know what you are doing to celebrate. Anyone have any fun plans or resources?
