Can Ye Talk Like a Pirate?

To celebrate "International Talk Like a Pirate Day" our class joined the celebration by bringing in the fun to our reading, math, and science today.  We analyzed a poem about Long John Silver, solved high-level word proplems involving pirates, and learned how bouyancy and surface area allow for heavy items such as gold to float inside vessels.  On top of all this, the buccaneers in class polished up their pirate vocabulary.
