TEACHABLE MOMENTS

This is a great opportunity to present the following information on St. Patrick’s Day to your children.  St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated on March 17^th in honor of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland.  The shamrock and the leprechaun are symbols of Ireland.  The shamrock is a plant that can bring good luck.  The leprechaun is a little old man, like a fairy, who can grant three wishes to any person who captures him.  Here is a St. Patrick’s Day Limerick:

There once was a shamrock named Pat.

Who tripped on a root and went splat.

She ripped her best leaf.

And sobbed in her grief,

And ruined her favorite hat.
