We have been doing some fun things at Gerlach School lately! We read "Tangerines and Tea, My Grandparents and Me" which has beautiful poetry and wrote an acrostic poem using the girls names. 
We are also learning about St Patrick and St Patrick's Day. This holiday is a great time to teach about making green out of blue and yellow, things that are green, things that aren't and of course about the Patrick the man who shared Jesus with much of Ireland in the 5th century. So this month will be full of shamrocks, things that are green, and maybe some St Patrick books. We are also part Irish so maybe we'll throw that in to, but I'm not sure how. I might even bust out some corned beef and cabbage on March 17th in the name of our kid's education.
Shaving Cream with green food coloring--yes it was a mess to clean up! The girls went from straight from here to the bathtub because their hands and arms were all green!
Tomorrow we are going to the retirement center for card making with the residents which should be a lot of fun. We've been to the center before and the seniors can't get enough of little kids!!
