Lesson: A clover is also called a shamrock. Some people believe that if you find a four-leaf clover you will be lucky. Some people say that if you catch a Leprechaun he will give you his pot of gold. I briefly told how St. Patrick was a real man who traveled through Ireland teaching people about Heavenly Father. We had fun with a Shamrock Finger-play. We also had fun with a counting shamrock game. Jackson brought a fun four-leaf clover for us to see.
Music: I'm A Little Leprechaun, Rainbow Song, & Little Skunk
Recess: It was a gorgeous day to be outside! We had fun swinging, sliding, playing house, and throwing balls. It was wonderful to feel the sunshine!
