St Paddy's Day
Since we celebrate pretty much every holiday (and non-holiday-I'm talking about you, Earth Day!) in preschool, of course this week centered around St Patrick's Day. Named for a man who was not Irish, but did good things for the Irish people, nor was his given name originally Patrick, was changed by an Irish Catholic Priest, this holiday for the preschool kids is about Pots of Gold, Leprechauns, rainbows, and wearing green. We've read stories about mischievous Leprechauns! The kids thought they were very silly. We will be looking for one's treasure at the end of the rainbow at school on Monday. Don't forget to wear green on Tuesday! Hope your child doesn't try to blame their misdeeds on the Leprechauns!

As soon as Savannah came home from school on Monday, she was excited to gather snacks and some of her treats for the leprechauns!
She has been asking me hundreds of questions about leprechauns most of which I have to respond, "I don't know, I think you know more about leprechauns than I do." She even put her doll house people positioned in her doll house so they could catch a leprechaun. She asked if she woke up early if she could see a leprechaun. I was a little worried she would be expecting big presents under a rainbow, when she woke up. Lucklily she was satisfied with a thank you note and green milk.
She is determined to try and catch a leprechaun. Thismorning she opened a cupboard where she heard a little noise and said, "Catcha."
