St. Patrick's Day Irish Blessings, Greetings, Card




May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
~Irish Blessing

May luck be our companion
May friends stand by our side
May history remind us all
Of Ireland's faith and pride.
May God bless us with happiness
May love and faith abide.
~Irish Blessing

May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light,
May good luck pursue you each morning and night.
~Irish Blessing

May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.
~Irish Blessing

Time and Clocks Theme Unit Resources:

Easter Activities



Easter baskets- Take large coffee cans and spray paint them white. Let children paint or sponge the grass with green paint all the way around the bottom on the can. Then, let the children sponge paint Easter eggs near the grass on the bottom. Makes great teacher gifts for kids.

"Check Out These 'Egg-straordinary" Kids!" Each child will decorate an egg shaped poster board picture frame with bits of crumpled tissue paper in bright spring colors. Then, we glue a photo to the back of each frame and attach them to the bulletin board.

The Counting Jar - Jelly Beans, Marshmallows, or counters-Guess the number of items.

Easter Basket raffle- Each child donates an item such as a treat, towel, toys, washcloths, cleaning supplies, food items, etc. or get a business to donate an item. 

Have a spring sing and hat parade just before Easter. The parents are responsible for helping their child decorate a special hat to wear. The children proudly display their hats one by one for all the parents and friends. 

Be Kind Idea-Use the small plastic eggs, fill them with different fun things, and put them in a basket of Easter grass. When you "catch a child doing something kind, or on task, let them go egg hunt in the egg basket. They keep the treat and you keep the empty egg ( to fill later). 

Hanging Yarn Eggs (An activity for older children) You need: round balloons, 3" to 12" pieces of scrap yarn, liquid starch. Blow up a round balloon, soak the yarn scraps in liquid starch until wet. One piece at a time, lay the wet yarn on the balloon, placing them in all directions and overlapping them until the balloon is about 75% covered. Let dry by hanging from a line over newspaper. When dry, pop the balloon and remove from egg. You can hang these from the ceiling or cut a hole in the front and place Easter grass and surprises inside.
