Continuing our study of Ireland, we talked about some of the ways we celebrate St. Patrick's Day in our country. Things like leprechauns, rainbows, pots of gold, shamrocks, and wearing green all add to the fun of this day. In PE we did a basketball shooting activity with two different size goals. We worked on proper form and using the backboard to help the ball go in to the hoop. Students earned pieces of gold every time they made a basket. They were so excited when they scored a goal. Afterwards, students worked together to count the number of pieces of gold in their pot.
