Hi friends!
I hope you had a great St. Patrick's day. I saw lots of pictures of you all doing Zumba with Miss Tiffany, searching for green things in your house, drawing about your blessings, and making play dough letters.
Check out some of your friends' work below:
Even though St. Patrick's day is over, we are going to keep traveling around Ireland! Did you know Ireland has many castles? Check out these castles in Ireland below:
Hmmm...I wonder who lived in these castles? Can you tell me a story about someone who lived in one of these castles? Get out your notebook. Draw the castle and the people who you think lived there. Then tell a story about the people who lived there! Remember stories have a beginning, middle and end. Ask your grown up to write down your story. (Parents- feel free to take a video of your child telling a story or take a picture of their work and send it to me!)
(Parents- please adapt this to your child's ability level. You can extend it by having your child turn it into a book or create puppets. Or instead of having them tell a full story show them how they could draw a castle using simple shapes like squares, lines, circles, etc and ask them who lives in their castle. Meet your child where they are at developmentally!)
When you're finished, check out this Ireland castle puzzle!

(Parents- this puzzle can be adapted and ranges from 12 to 104 pieces. See the dropdown menu above the picture. If your child is not ready for this digital puzzle, consider printing it out and cutting the picture into 3 pieces. Have your child put the cutout pieces together.)
To finish today we are going to do something really kind! See my video below!!
(Parents- See the first post in this blog about meeting your child where they are at in terms of writing ability. If they aren't ready to write letters, have them draw squiggles. If they need more of a challenge, have them write a sentence. If you know someone in a nursing home who would like your child's letter, please send it along to them! Otherwise I found this post with two addresses for nursing homes:)
Have a wonderful day! Spread love and kindness!
