For the month of March we combed Pinterest and found this bulletin board that we had the students help us with. 

We have each Brain Booster for one hour.  We have plenty of time for various activities.  They were excited to help create the rainbow with these fun paper chains.  




We found St. Patrick's Day celebration music that we will have the kids listen to.  
For the older kids we will read a book by Gail Gibbons that explains the origin of St. Patrick's Day.  
For the younger student's we will  read St. Patrick's Day from the Black Lagoon.  
We will also be playing a memory game.  We will place multiple green items on a table and let the students look at them for one minute.  We then will cover it with a cloth again and the students  will try to recall on a piece of paper what they remember.

MAGIC WEEK

 

These Amazing Magic Trick books by Norman Barnhart were a hit with the students. There are lots of fun magic tricks the kids were excited to try out.  We did several with the kids and they loved it!

 

   Can you fit your body through this piece of paper?
we asked the students to fold the paper in half and cut ONLY on the black lines.  After doing this, and unfolding the paper it comes out as a giant circle that the kids can pull over their bodies.  

                       
We had the kids tear a strip of paper that had a carrot, bunny and a top hat printed on it. (it's important to print the bunny in the middle )  When torn, the only picture that will have two torn edges is the bunny.  When placed in the magician's hat, you can easily pick the bunny picture every time by feeling the edges!  The kids could NOT figure that out!  It was quite a crack up.
