Saint Patricks Day

Our first lapbook was for Saint Patricks Day. We learned about how Saint Patrick was kidnapped by pirates to Ireland and then how he escaped 6 years later. He then had a calling to return to Ireland and convert the Irish to Christianity. There are many legends of St Patricks day, the pot of gold, leprechauns and fairies, why we wear green, & snakes. We also study the Scientific reasons for these legions as well. The older kids spent the night at Grandma and Grandpas tonight so we're saving our Irish Dinner for Sunday where we'll make a homemade Irish Stew and some homemade bread YUM! I'm going to attach some pictures of Alex and Gavins lapbook tomorrow along with some video of them describing their books.

Here are some pictures of the kids discussing their lapbooks and pictures of the lapbooks themselves. I'll be adding some video of them discussing their lapbooks as well. I have one video ready now to put on so I'll attach it.
