As this holiday will happen while we are on Spring Break we spent some time during the past two weeks doing some Irish activities.
We read some stories and did some art. Students wrote out three wishes for what they would like if they caught a leprechaun. They chose their most favourite wish and then created a shamrock depiction of that wish.
We also created layered shamrocks with three sizes of shamrocks on construction paper which were coloured with oil pastels in the shades of blue and green, with some added bits of gold/yellow.
We also have some ‘wee folk’ visiting the classroom. They seem to like ‘hanging around’ …
May the luck of the Irish be with you. I hope you all wear some green on March 17th – you wouldn’t want to get pinched …
