2012 St. Patrick's Day Activities & Decorations...

 We learned some geographical facts about Ireland and located it on a globe.  We made an Irish flag and displayed it in our classroom alongside our Christian flag.

As you can see, our little mini-Dachshund, Sassy, must be part of everything we do.  If she is excluded, she is not happy at all! 

 Our St. Patrick's Day Bulletin Board and Holiday Tree. 

We learned the history of St. Patrick, the Christian symbolism of the shamrock, and a few Irish superstitions - the Blarney Stone , Leprechauns, and the Pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow.

St. Patrick used the shamrock to illustrate the concept of the Trinity.
