March is always best known for 2 things: Spring, and St. Patrick's Day. I'm a big fan of celebrating holidays, no matter how obscure. It brings a spice to life and makes things interesting! So, we've been talking about St. Patrick's Day and a few of the things that are associated with it: Green, Clovers, pots of gold, rainbows, and Leprechauns. It's been so much fun! We made four leafed clovers by cutting hearts out of paper and stapling/taping/gluing them to a stem. Then, we talked about the meaning of the word 'luck' (since finding a four-leafed clover is considered lucky) and wrote down things that make us feel lucky! We also pretended we were seeds growing (down in a ball as the seed, our legs go up as the roots, then our arms are the leaves, and finally, our head comes up as the flower). We learned the life cycle of a plant and they did some cutting and pasting to put the life cycle in the right order (the template can be found here). Andrew is learning how to use scissors quickly--not an easy feat for a lefty! :)
