{Happy St. Patrick's Day}

We celebrated St. Patrick's Day by studying St. Patrick and learning a lot about the country of Ireland. We also explored Irish Folktales and of course leprechauns! The book Mary McClean and the St. Patrick's Day Parade even taught us about the Great Potato Famine and Irish Immigration to New York.

The Twosies created a slide show about St. Patrick. You can check it out using the link below!

Because we love to celebrate holidays with STEM Challenges, we conducted one with a leprechaun theme. The Twosies had to design a parachute that would safely deliver a leprechaun from the top of a rainbow.




These teams were the most successful! 
Ayden and Ashton's parachute stayed in the air for a record-breaking 3.77 seconds!!! 
Britton's and Gabriella's parachute was the most consistent, staying around 3 seconds for each of it's three trials!
