Did you wear your green today?? Our room was full of green, white and yellow as we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. Our day started off with a visit from a wee little leprechaun who left us not only a highly guarded pot ‘o gold, but some leprechaun dust, his shoes and hat!! We never did find him, but we sure enjoyed a piece of his chocolate coins. Here are some fun facts about St. Patrick’s Day:
-Leprechauns stem from Irish folktale. In Ireland, they are not associated with St. Patrick, which makes leprechauns an Americanized symbol of St. Patrick’s Day.
-St. Patrick is actually English.
-March 17 is the day of St. Patrick’s death, hence St. Patrick’s Day.
