Pirate Booty

How do you get the attention of 80 first graders?  Let them dress up like robbing, plundering, fire-starting, cheap women chasing, arm chopping, eye-gauging, dirty drunk pirates.  Okay, maybe they left out their shady past and celebrated their knack for accessorizing and collecting pretty jewels.  Addie's first grade spent a half day dedicated to learning through pirate activities such estimating and weighing different pirate paraphanalia on scales, compass making, map making, sorting and jewel math, etc.  We came up with a pretty decent pirate princess outfit, considering our dress-up consists of tiaras and wands and high heels, oh my!
Addie loves her teacher, Mrs. Masterson.

So fun to peek into your life. Your girls are adorable, what a cute family! I never made it back to Cal. but life is good here in Utah. We're expecting our first baby in April so we're so excited for that. Will be fun chatting with you....
