Pirate Flag

As we continue to read the book The Hand of Robin Squires we have to the realization that Robin's uncle is, in fact, a pirate! Who knew? Today we studied the history and meaning behind real pirate flags (there really was a Captain Jack!), and how these flags symbolically represented the captain's personality. The students will now create their own pirate flag that is representative of their own personality. This assignment is due on Wednesday. In math we concluded our use of Geometer's Sketchpad to draw circles. We will take up our remaining math homework tomorrow, as well as review for our test on Wednesday.
