Our fifth graders had a swashbuckling good time celebrating National Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19!
In Mrs. Mathis’s math class, students teamed up to solve pirate-themed multi-step word problems.
In Mrs. Brazell’s science class, they designed treasure maps that showed off the landforms they’ve been studying.
In ELA, Mrs. Walker and Mr. Harvey assisted students as they worked through pirate-inspired stations to review figurative language, plot elements, and sentence structure.
No one had to walk the plank, and it turned out to be a day they’ll truly treasure!
