Feb. 11, 2008 - Calling all you Buccaneers!
Front Cover
This lapbook is two legal sized file folders glued back to back.
Inside the front.
Left- Roger the Jolly Pirate Plot Wheel, Pirate Gear Labeling Activity
Middle- Game with pieces stored in mini envelope (above). The game board pulls down to revel a hidden treasure map (which is not pictured).
Right- What is an Island? Matchbook and Pirate Speak Flap Book
Second Folder
Left- Pull Tab (Why Pirates Sing Sea Chanties; we sang a few ourselves!), Jolly Roger Flag made by dh and Elijah
Middle- Sailing the Seven Seas (open), Pirate Flag Coloring Page from a mini Dover book, Parrot Simple Fold
Right- Blackbeard Mini Book & My Pirate Story.
Note from Ami: I was so excited for Elijah to write a pirate story! Finally, something different from all our Birds of Prey stories...WRONG! LOL! See parts of his story (as told EXACTLY by Elijah to me) below:

I'll leave the rest to your imagination, but basically Panda went on an adventure looking for a sea creature...crashed into a sea creature...needed a new boat because "all pirates need a new boat...and so do I...and so do the two eagles."

Front of the lapbook on the back (does that even make sense? LOL). This is a fun parrot we painted. The idea was from an Usborne Book.
And, now, I must embark (or would that be disembark? LOL).
I'm afraid I'm not a very good pirate!
