This past week we celebrated St. Patrick's Day. We enjoyed writing about why we are "Lucky"...listened to Red Grammer's song "I'm Lucky" and made these adorable pictures!
The children and I made a list then they chose three things from the list why they thought they were lucky. We heard incredible things like: I have food, I have toys, I have God, I have video games...we were very impressed with the list!
In honor of the day we cut up potatoes (after we weighed and measured them of course!) and made mashed potatoes. We graphed our favorite ways to eat potatoes. Ask your child their favorite way to eat potatoes. We talked about Ireland and the fact they they grow potatoes there. We were shocked that when we came back to our classroom after specials there was a mess and some riddles leading us to a pot of gold candy (a Rolo!). We think we were visited by a leprechaun!
