St. Patrick's Day Felt Board Story





St. Patrick's day is around the corner, so I decided to make some clover. I went online to images and traced a four leaf clover and preceded to make my template.  Then, I went looking for a poem to go along with them. The following poem is very popular and found on many sites.  It was then I realized, that a shamrock usually only has three leaves!




Five Little Shamrocks Poem:


Five little shamrocks growing by the door.
(Child's name) picked one, and that left four.
Four little shamrocks, green as they could be.
(Child's name) picked one, and that left three.
Three little shamrocks, sitting by my shoe,
(Child's name) picked one, and then there were two.
Two little shamrocks nodding in the sun,
(Child's name) picked one, and that left one.
One little shamrock for St. Patrick's Day fun.
(Child's name) picked it, and that left none.

Ocean Theme and the Felt Board



The other day, the daycare where I work, visited the library for storytime. The librarian carried out an ocean theme with books, songs and felt stories. Of course, she sang Slippery Fish, a classic. But, she also sang a new one for me, following the song/rhyme Five Little Monkeys but instead singing with fish and a shark:

Five little fishies swimming in the sea
Teasing Mr. Shark, "you can't catch me, no you can't catch me"
Along came the Shark as quiet as can be
And snap!

Four little fishies.....

My following collection contributes to an Ocean Theme. Please click on the photo for the blog entry and further information.
