Shamrock Art and Math & Reading Fun!

St. Patrick’s day was this week. To celebrate, the students drew shamrocks. They listened while I gave them step-by-step directions to draw the shamrocks. Once the children finish their shamrocks, they painted them green. Before the shamrock art project, we discussed and learned information about St. Patrick. One thing that we discovered is that St. Patrick used the shamrock to teach others about the Holy Trinity. The Shamrock is the national flower of Ireland, and they grow in abundance there. So it’s not surprising that St. Patrick had access to the flower and it was a great tool in his endeavor to teach others about Christianity. The children enjoyed drawing, painting, and learning about shamrocks. 

We ended the week with math games and reading! The National Junior Honor Society and the math club visited first grade for some mentoring and fun learning. Such a great way to wrap up the week! I love that we can safely partner up with the middle school students for learning opportunities.
