Arrrrrrgh!

September 19th is a day of the year

that always brings a little joy into my heart.

You may (or may not) know, but it's a holiday!

It's called International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

It's a day for telling pirate jokes, wearing black and white,

and an excuse to say "Arrrrrrrgh" whenever you feel like it.

I celebrated in the following ways:

1) Wore a black and white striped shirt to school,

complete with a pirate hat and patch. :)

(I wish I would have remembered to take a photo!)

2) Shared pirate jokes with my students

and

3) Read How I Became a Pirate to my students

It was a pretty fun day! 

And, in the spirit of this holiday, I leave you with some pirate jokes:

Why couldn't the pirate go to the movie?

It was rated AAARRRRRRRRRRR!

What's a pirate's favorite letter?

ARRRRRRRRRR!

How much does it cost a pirate to get a piercing?

A buck an ear!

What do you call a pirate that skips school?

Capain Hookey!
