School Days: St Patrick's Day/Ireland

Another fun week! We learned about Ireland and celebrated St Patrick's Day.
Facts the kids learned about Ireland:
*It's an island.
*It rains a lot there.
*Boys and girls are lads and lassies
Here's what we did:
You can't learn about Ireland without Irish dancing!


The flag was our next step






Green and orange art


Forget scissors! Tearing's more fun!














Got to have shamrocks!


Math matching


Blarney stones...or just an excuse to make rocks out of clay and paint them. ;)




And of course we can't forget our Irish lunch on Monday.

This week's books:
Ireland the Land - Erinn Banting
A Pot O'Gold A Treasury of Irish Stories, Poetry, Folklore and (of course) Blarney - Kathleen Krull
Harp O'Gold - Teresa Bateman

Muffin Tin Monday 3-14

Top of the morning! ..er afternoon. If you haven't guessed already, this week is all about Ireland and St Patrick's Day!



Green apple sauce, milk, carrots w/ranch,
green beans, corned beef hash, mac & cheese

The idea was this to be similar to the flag of Ireland: green, white, orange. I replace one white with an Irish food. And for some reason, mac & cheese was more orange in my mind. A little note, corned beef hash was NOT a hit! LOL
