Tell them Johnny use to be a pirate, gave up the sea landing in Cape Fear NC and started accross the US planting apple trees.

Harr!

Ahoy, mateys! Black Dinkeldog Flint be teaching music today to elementary school landlubbers. We'll see what the bilge rats can learn in a 45 shakes of a rat's tale. Alas, I be the only proper pirate and gentleman on Captain P's ship.

I put several piratey words up on the board this morning. Today, my students can't leave class to get a drink of water unless they say, "Can me splice the mainbrace, Mister Chance?"

What ages do you teach? Did the kids embrace the idea or think it was lame?

That's damn funny though

5th through 8th grades, so basically 10 to 14 years old. The 5th graders are away at a nature camp this week, so they miss out. The 6th grade had way too much fun being piratical. The 7th and 8th graders, thinking they're too cool to be foolish, looked at me like I was stupid, but they eventually got on board.

Arr!

The only good thing I see in these pirate shenanigans is that it isn't act like a hick from Deliverance day, but I am sure that is coming.
