Happy St Patrick's Day!!!
![]() I'm orginally from Newfoundland so maybe that is a reason why I love St Patrick's Day...it reminds me of home. However, I think it might also be because of all the fun you can have with kids and the story of the leprechauns. Leprechauns are pesky little elves that like to visit places where there are little children and they like to play tricks and cause mischeif. Here are some of the things the leprechauns did in our classroom this year.
And what would St Patrick's Day be without some Irish music. I had a pot of gold filled with paper coins labelled with different shapes and shamrocks. We played a game where once the music stopped, the person holding the pot got to pick. If they picked a shape, they were to name it, if they picked a shamrock, we all stood up and danced a jig to the Irish music. Let's just say, everyone wanted to pick a shamrock! What a great group of Irish dancers!! I even had a request to leave the Irish music on while we did our craft. Below are a few of the other things we did during the week... ![]() As you can imagine we spent lots of time discussing the leprechauns, what they looked like and what would happen if we caught one (you have to make them laugh and then they will take you to their pot of gold under the rainbow). We spent lots of time acting this scenario out and felt that we needed a realistic costume. We all worked together to make this beard. This little boy was a great leprechaun and we all had lots of fun trying to find him and make him laugh. Happy St Patrick's Day!!!
