Good Morning 6th grade!

I hope you are staying at home these days and being responsible. Let's start with your work.

First of all, in 6A you had to finish some readings form your Saint Patrick's Day mini-books, so I am going to give you the answers for you to check (6B already corrected this part).

FAIRY RINGS

1. Between 500 to 1000
2. To protect homes and families
3. More than 40.000
4. They open and enchanting fairy music drifts from them.
5. Because it is unlucky to disturb them.

CELTIC KNOT

1. Around 450 AD
2. Without beginning or end
3. Eternity.
4. In jewelry, clothing or home decorations.
5. To wish good luck.

BLARNEY STONE

1. In the Blarney Castle.
2. You get the gift of gab.
3. Their story-telling skills.
4. Over 200.000.
5. Because you have to do difficult moves.

Now that you have checked your homework (which I am sure you did and did well), here is your work for these next days:

1. Read the five remaining texts from your mini-books and answer their questions (the titles of the texts are: Claddagh Rings, The Giant's Causeway, Ancient Ireland, Leprechauns and Shamrocks).

2. Since your mini-books are pasted on the INPUT side of your notebooks, you are going to create a very easy OUTPUT to be pasted next to your mini-books. Follow the steps in this video to create a "folding surprise leprechaun". You only need a white piece of paper, a pencil and your markers and colours to decorate it.

That's all for now. On Thursday I will give you the answers for your reading activities and I will tell you the next part of your work. As you know, if you have any doubts, you can contact me at lunateacherluna@gmail.com 

*It is not necessary that you send me pictures of this work, I will check your notebooks when we come back to school.

*If you want to, you can send me a picture of your output. If you do, I will post some of your pictures on Thursday's entry.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
