Green With Envy!

Wednesday, March 13, 2013

In preparation for St. Patrick's Day this Sunday, our activities centered around the color green...

Bear Wants More by Karma Wilson
When spring comes, Bear wakes up very hungry and is treated to great food by his friends.


Snip Snap!  What's That? by Mara Bergman
Three siblings are frightened by the wide mouth, long teeth, and strong jaws of the alligator that has crept up the stairs--until they decide they have had enough.



Potato Joe by Keith Baker
Potato Joe leads the other spuds from the familiar nursery rhyme, "One Potato, Two Potato," in various activities, from a game of tic-tac-toe to a rodeo.



Green Wilma by Todd Arnold
Waking up with a frog-like appearance, Wilma proves disruptive at school as she searches for some tasty flies.



Five Green and Speckled Frogs Fingerplay:
Five green and speckled frogs, sitting on a speckled log
Eating the most delicious flies -- yum, yum!
One jumped into the pool where it was nice and cool...
Then there were four green and speckled frogs.
Ribbit, ribbit!

Continue until only one frog is left...

One green and speckled frog, sitting on a speckled log
Eating the most delicious flies -- yum, yum!
He jumped into the pool where it was nice and cool...
Now there are no green speckled frogs!

"Do Your Ears Point Up?" Action Song:
Do your ears point up?
Do you have a lot of luck?
For gold do you dig?
Can you dance an Irish jig?
If you answered yes...
You're a leprechaun, I guess!
Do your ears point up?

We made these adorable leprechaun hats for the craft today...
Thank you to Shamus McTeddy for allowing us to publish his photograph!
