We were so excited to celebrate St. Patrick's Day today with Jenna. Jenna is visiting from Ireland for 6 months. We learned about leprechauns, pots of gold, shamrocks, the Irish flag, speaking Gaelic and much more! We sung a leprechaun song (see below), did lots of St. Patrick's Day art and even looked for gold to fill our 'pots of gold.' Jenna brought us in some shamrock chocolates that she had made with her Mommy.
Jenna told us some special things about her life in Ireland. We loved hearing about the leprechaun that hides in the floxglove plant by her front door. Every morning when she walks past she says something nice about the leprechaun's shoes, like "Oooo I like your shoes!" This makes the leprechaun happy so he won't play tricks on her!"
We had such a fun day!
We had such a fun day!
