I do not really go all out for all of the holidays.
We don’t usually do units on them for school either.
This year because I had a book about Saint Patrick I wanted to read I decided to do something different for Saint Patrick’s Day yesterday.
“Challenge on the Hill of Fire” is done by Adventures in Odyssey.
I have really liked the other books in this series and this one was no exception.
Great read!
The stories about Saint Patrick say that he used things to do with the culture in Ireland to preach Jesus.
He supposedly used a Shamrock to teach about the trinity.
We did our picture for “Embrace the Camera” while I was reading our book to the boys.
After we finished the book, we went outside in search of a Shamrock.
I have been wanting to get the boys into nature journaling and this seemed like a perfect opportunity.
After we found some the boys got right to work.
I did one also!
It was really fun!
One of the stories we read about said that Christians put the shamrock on their lapels.
My youngest of course really wanted to do that.
He was not as happy when it dried out on him though…
What do you do for Saint Patrick’s Day?
