Arrrgh! Pirates!

Yo-ho-ho! In honor of "Talk Like A Pirate Day", today's Storytime was all about pirates! We read How I Became A Pirate by David Shannon, about a boy who has an adventure on a pirate ship, This Little Pirate by Philemon Sturges, about two bands of pirates vying for the same treasure, and Do Pirates Take Baths, a book of short poems about the bad habits of pirates. Now we know why pirates have green teeth!

We each crafted a pirate hat made of black paper with a teddy bear skull-and-crossbones. We decorated them with white reinforcements and, because pirates like jewels, we added dots of glitter glue to the center of each circle. And some of us added glitter in other places too - because pirates can never have too much that glitters!
