Pirate Day- Aarrgghh!!

Why do pirates wear Eye patches?
Here are some of our ideas...
We did a little experiment to see if it maybe one reason could be so that they 
could see better in the dark and wouldn't have to wait for their eyes to adjust.

We put the eye patch on one eye and when we flipped the lights out we quick took the eye patch off and guess what ... we could see right away!
When we didn't have the eye patch it took a few seconds for us to be able to see.
Hmmm...Interesting!

Parrot Parrot on my head
Repeat the numbers that I just said.
Mix them up
and straighten them out.
When your done
Just give a shout!
Aarrgghh!

Our "parrot" checked to see if we were able to get the numbers in order!
