Articles of Agreement Ceremony


We learned this week that though pirates throughout history were not great examples, they DID have agreements on board their pirate ship so that the crew could get along!  Knowing this, we spent several days reading books and making a list of what we thought was important to us as a crew.  I was impressed with the items they voted on that we should honor all year long. 



We invited our Cardinal Leaders!  The Pirate vocabulary we practiced all week came in handy as well!



Miss Dottaviano,our college student who sails with us some days, 
came in to help Captain Kelly with face painting!!



What a BUNCH of cute pirates!





  


Thanks Mrs. Schoenberg for the Pirate Cupcakes!





Thank you parents for the AWESOME pirate treats for our celebration!




The crew started with a "pop quiz" by Mrs. Brim and Mrs. Antoine
on what all those words on our chart actually MEAN!


Mr. Strickland  gave the CHARGE to our crew!


The pirates had to raise their right "hook" as they promised to follow
the Articles of Agreement!


Then each crew member including the adults signed the agreement!


Mrs. Murphy and Mr. Strickland passed out the pirate necklaces as a fun treat to celebrate
such an important occasion!

  

Here is the crew posing with all our visitors for the day! 




Time to EAT!!






Since it was raining today we ate on board the ship and it was quite a MESS so the
Cap'n gave the orders to SWAB the desk, floors, deck, and anything messy!
Tape on their hands works as a human vacuum and it's super FUN!

   

Smiles & Silliness



 Here's my sweet crew after a fun day!  I LOVE this picture!


Here is our signed copy!


One missing pirate came back and signed the agreement as well!  Aarrrrgh!
