Saint Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day is celebrated on March 17th, his religious feast day and the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over a thousand years. On St. Patrick's Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink and feast—on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.

PROFESSORES . . . ELOGIO LEGÍTIMO!!!!

Elogio, inocente, aos professores....

Viva a honestidade e a inocência. Os miúdos ainda são o que há de melhor!...

Vejam como tudo é tão subjectivo em educação, muitos outros,
a maioria (?) ficaria ofendida.

Aconteceu na Escola Básica Integrada de Rabo de Peixe (Ilha de S.Miguel - Açores), desconhecendo-se qual a nota atribuída ao referido aluno.

A professora pediu aos alunos para fazerem uma composição sobre a escola.

Um deles escreveu:

'A minha escola é pequena, mas muito bem arranjada. A minha escola é
como se fosse um jardim.
Nós, os alunos, somos as flores e a senhora professora é como se fosse
um monte de estrume que nos faz crescer belos e fortes.'

Father's Day Cards

       Sailboat Card for Father's Day        

Poem to write on the bottom of the boat:

"I'd sail the seven seas for you, Daddy!"
or
"I'd sail the seven seas for you, Grandpa!"


You can glue this to the front of a construction paper card or as a "gift tag" on a wrapped present. The bottom of the boat unfolds to reveal a hidden message

INSTRUCTIONS:
Have the child trace a small plate (dessert plate) on a piece of construction paper.
Cut out the circle (adult assistance may be required).
Fold the circle in half.
A message can be written inside.
On the outside, write, "I'd sail the seven seas for you, Daddy!"
Have the child cut a long strip of black construction paper (or use a popsicle stick) for the mast.


Make the sails one of two ways:
Make a two fingerpaint handprints on contrasting colored construction paper. Cut out a rough triangle shape around the handprints
OR
Trace two hands onto a piece of construction paper. Cut out and glue to a contrasting triangle of construction paper.

                  Father's Day Paperweight

Every dad needs a paperweight on their desk...right!

Here are a couple of simple designs that we made. Feel free to get creative with a design of your own.

The first step is to find a suitable rock. We had some smooth, flat, decorative rocks that we used for our project but you could head outdoors to find the perfect stone for your project.

Be sure to cover the kids in some old clothes too because the acrylic paint does not wash out. Give yourself some time to paint and decorate the rock. It took two or three coats for our rocks which is not too bad since the paint only takes a few minutes to dry.

Materials:

rock

acrylic paints                                                                              
fine black marker
paint brush
OPTIONAL: glitter glue, wiggly eyes...

Directions:
Paint the rock as you like. Be creative. It may take a couple of coats to cover the rock but acrylic paint dries pretty fast so it should not be a problem.

Once the paint is dry you can decorate further with glitter glue, wiggly eyes of whatever you can dream up.
Print the words on the rock with a fine black marker.
