St. Patrick's Day Fun!

Top O' the Morning To You!

We decided to celebrate St. Patty's Day with a techie twist.  For fun, we explored limericks. Our children loved these frolicking poems and had a blast creating them!  Our three year old even jumped in on the fun.  I used suggestions from Giggle Poetry to introduce the lesson.  From there, everyone used their suggestion of choosing a one-syllable name to begin and let their creative juices flow.  I played around with various media to publish the final results, however, our 4th grader quickly decided on creating a Scratch program. Hope you enjoy and leave with a smile on your face!

Limericks

There once was a girl named Ella

Who had a crush on a fella

She went to the ball

To her boy she did call

"Come here you fine, little fella!"

by Ellie (1st grade)

There once was a leprechaun named Spike

He decided to go on a hike

He played in the trees

Cooled off with a breeze

This day he really did like!

by Andrew and Mommy (pre-school)

There once was a boy named Jack

He fell into a metal jail-sack

He broke through the bars

Teleported to Mars

And decided to never come back.

by Luc (2nd Grade)

There once was a girl named Jill

She loved to play on her hill

As she grew old

She became very bold

And went tumbling down in a spill.

by Abby (4th grade)

Scratch Program

The programming was done by our 4th grader and is her own original artwork.

May the luck of the Irish be there with you.
