St Patrick and Ireland

 

The preschoolers love learning about St. Patrick. He was  one of God’s special helpers who went around Ireland teaching of God’s Glory.  St. Patrick  used the shamrock to teach about The Holy Trinity. The  leaves represent God The Father, God The Son and God the Holy Spirit-Three in One.

We heard that a lot of potatoes are grown in Ireland so we used potatoes for March Math. We had fun observing, measuring and weighing potatoes.

We also read a lot about those silly Leprechauns that come over from Ireland once a year on St. Patrick’s Day. Many of the LC classrooms start out the month of March engineering and building a trap in hopes of capturing a Leprechaun and getting his pot of Gold. We had no luck again this year but the Leprechauns shared a lot of gold with us!
