International Talk Like A Pirate Day

Ahoy Teachers!

Now there is an official day for you to celebrate your secret pirate passion and have a fun educational day with your students.

September 19 is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. ITLAPD was started by Mark Summers and John Baur and is celebrated all over the world.

From Mark:

Coming at the beginning of the school year, Talk Like a Pirate Day allows the students to see their teacher's playful side. This should not be viewed as a day wasted on silly nonsense, but as a ‘teachable moment.’ Be creative, take risks and, above all, have fun.
