What You Do:
The week prior to St. Patrick's Day, my students
begin making a variety of items to be used in our
annual parade.
Students make very large shamrocks
and paint them green.
They attach these to paint sticks
or cardboard tubes.
They also make large pots of gold and
shamrocks out of heavy cardboard which they paint and
decorate with glitter.
Students decorate tin cans, washtubs,
etc. (anything will do) to use as drums and instruments.
On
St. Patrick's Day the entire school gathers.
Signs, poster,
instruments, hats, etc. are passed out and we embark on our
annual parade.
The students and the teachers love this event.
We walk through our school as cafeteria, custodial, clerical staff
stand in the hallways cheering us on.
We then walk over
to the campus next door where the students receive a great
deal of positive reinforcement.
This lesson provides students
with auditory, visual and tactile stimulation.
