Unfortunately we are not in session for St. Patrick’s Day this year.  That does not mean that we won’t be learning about some traditions and symbols of Ireland, though.  Mrs. Schwarz has been playing some Irish tunes during the Music Listening programme each day.  We will be reading a few stories and doing some activities.  On Friday we will be finishing up our ‘layered’ oil pastel shamrocks that we began last week.  I will be posting pictures of these at the weekend.

Students have been thinking and writing about what ‘3 wishes’ they would hope for if they were to ever catch a leprechaun.  They know that they should wear green on March 17th – or they are subject to a pinch!  Rumour has it that the Kindergarten class has been busy preparing leprechaun ‘traps’.  We will have to wait until we return from Spring Break to see if any traps are sprung or if any wee folk are captured.

A conversation was overheard today, from a few of our girls, while they were wondering if there were any ‘girl’ leprechauns.  Hopefully, when they see these pictures on the white board tomorrow, that question will be answered:)
