St. Patrick’s Day Activities

This activity was a huge hit with ED this past week.  I chose some words from ED’s phonics readers and wrote them out on some shamrocks and taped them on popcycle sticks.  I covered an empty cereal box with construction paper and wrote the words out on the box as well and used a knife to create a slit for the Popsicle sticks.

I sat with ED each time she did this activity so she could practice reading the words aloud.

You could also use these to do some shamrock fishing like we did last year:

ED did letter matching last year:

While DD did some addition practice:
