We started the day by reading an informational book that told us the history behind St. Patrick's Day.
We went on to read several other stories about Leprechauns and St. Patrick's Day.
Next we read a poem called "Leprechaun Stew"
Leprechaun Stew, Leprechaun Stew
If I don't get some
I don't know what I'll do.
Give away my pot of gold,
Give away my shoe,
But don't give away my Leprechaun Stew.
After reading the poem we wrote three more verses of our own.
The afternoon brought a fun math activity. Here were the directions given to the children.
Lucky the Leprechaun has lost all of his four leaf clovers! Can you help him? There are clovers hidden around the classroom. Find a clover and bring it back to your seat. Complete the math problem on the clover and put your answer on one of the gold coins. When you are done with the clover it back where you found it so that another friend can help Lucky! You need to find at least six clovers and do the math problems.
The kids did an awesome job with this activity.
