St. Patrick's Day 2

I know the holiday is past.  But who cares?  Today we talked about some of the legends of St. Patrick's Day.  We read a book about St. Patrick and some of the legends, and did a few more crafts.

Well, let's start back at the beginning.  We are on letter J this week.  (For Jessy!)

We did our usual warm-up.  Calendar, "J" book, "J" path, writing/drawing J's.  (She got really in to this today and made sure to use lots of different colors, then erase them so they were "naked" (haha) and did them again and again.

(For our paths today I bought some letter stamps and let her use the "j" stamp to stamp on top of the js on the paper.  She LOVE this).

We practiced the number 10 and related it to our hands and feet.  At one point she counted her toes and got 11.  Hmmm....

Anyway, for our St. Patrick's Day stuff we made a leprechaun who dances .  She colored it and started to cut it out, but then wanted my help, so I finished cutting for her.  Then she tried using the hole punch and needed some help for that.  :)  Then we got some brads and attached it.  She needed a little help with that, too.  But she still had fun and likes to make him dance now!

 We then practiced some math and got a bowl of Lucky Charms.  She had to pull out the marshmellows, then graph them, then we counted them and found the most, the least, etc.  And then she ate all the marshmellows.  :)
 (We only have the Malt-o-Meal version of Lucky Charms and the chart uses the real kind.  Did you know the marshmellows are different?  I just taped a marshmellow at the bottom of the chart to cover the pictures so she would know what went in each column).
