Here are some pictures from our St. Patrick's Day activities and celebration this past Thursday. Students put on their "poetry" caps to create funny limericks, which are 5 line poems that are popular in Ireland. The limericks will be sent home next week, but please ask your children about the clever ( &sometimes silly) rhymes they wrote! We also read the traditional Irish folktale
Jamie O'Rourke and the Giant Potato by Tomie DePaola and played a game to test students' understanding and recall of the story.

Be on the lookout for a questionnaire we will be sending home next week requesting more information about the special holidays that are important to your family.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the nice weather before the possible snowstorm Sunday night!
