St. Patrick's Day

 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 

We celebrated by having a fun-filled St. Patrick's Day week by talking about leprechauns, rainbows, gold coins and everything GREEN!

 

We had several St. Patrick's Day sensory tubs.

 

This one was especially my favorite!! Green split peas, gold coins, glittery leprechaun hats and pots of gold!

 

 

One of our math centers was to recognize the number and count that number of coins to put on the number!

 

 

 

 

This week we also worked on the letter Xx.  We traced and wrote our own Xx's, searched and found Xx's on our paper and as a whole group on the white board! 

 

 

 

 

One of our art projects was to make leprechaun faces! They turned out so cute with their funny beards and faces! :)

 

 

We even finger painted rainbows and talked about what colors make up a rainbow in what order.  Later in the week, we drew our own rainbows in our journals...

 

 

We used heart cookie cutters to make 4 Leaf clovers.  We then took a q-tip and messed up the lines and added green glitter to add shine and a stem of course!!! 

 

 

 

 

We used green poms poms for counting!

 

 

We reused our pink rice table from Dr. Seuss week and added some colorful pom poms and a scoop of every color to make it look like a RAINBOW!

 

 

Our Blue sensory bin held A LOT of gold coins and pots.  I added some glass baby food jars and each of the student's names on a green sentence strip.

 

 

This was our mint scented water table with green glitter, green plastic builders, ice cube trays and green Easter eggs!  I had every intention of changing this later in the week but they loved it so much!!

 

 

Our Rainbow Rain sticks made out of water bottles...

 

 

On PJ Day we wore our comfy pj's, slippers and watched the movie, Wreck it Ralph with the preschool room and enjoyed a large bowl of POPCORN!  We love special days like this :)

 

 

Uh Oh...

WHAT A MESS!

 

The leprechaun messed up our room while we were playing Duck, Duck, Goose in the big room!

 

 

He even flipped some of the tables and put the chairs on top! 

 

 

 

The funniest part was the bathrooms...there was toilet paper EVERYWHERE!  The leprechaun even died the toilet water green!!

 

 

We had such a fun week!  We also wrote and traced our names with color changing markers, laced colanders with pipe cleaners and even graphed Lucky Charms!

 

Next week is Spring Week!

Check back for more updates from our classroom!!!
