Today at school, I taught the children about St. Patrick's Day. Again, teaching them in English, I have to keep things VERY simple. It usually consists of a few new vocabulary words, a brief explanation of the history/significance of the holiday, and a fun activity. So, I had to boil St. Patrick's Day down to a day of good luck -- that way, I could explain four-leaf clovers, leprechauns, and pots of gold at the end of rainbows. As far as celebrating it in the USA, I could only think of parades and drinking green beer! (Although I didn't actually teach them about drinking green beer.) Anyway, we had a giant leprechaun hat, which the kids got a kick out of wearing, and they colored some leprechaun faces. After school, it was off to Barcelona with Andrew -- but I will save that for the next post!
The infamous hat, making the rounds...
