Are you looking for a cute read-aloud for St. Patrick’s Day? Look no further! This week’s Literacy Snack Lucky Read-Aloud is called The Luckiest St. Patrick’s Day Ever! by Teddy Slater.
It’s a cute, simple book that takes you through the day, St. Patrick’s Day. It follows the Leprechaun family on their St. Patrick’s Day parade, and then back home for lunch with friends and family. The books gives a great opportunity to talk about different symbols of St. Patrick’s Day, looking for fun items on each page turning it into a scavenger hunt, and to talk about all kinds of great green types of food.
At the end of the book, they toast and say, May the luck of the Irish be with you today!” So that is what we are going to base our snack and printable on today, luck. For our snack today, we will be having a shamrock cookie.
Snack Idea
For our snack today, we’re keeping it simple with these store bought shamrock cookies. I found these in the bakery section at Target, but you can also probably find something similar at your local grocery store or Walmart.
Free Printable
For our free printable to go along with the book, we are focusing on the lucky aspect. It’s a great time to talk with students about what makes them lucky. They can reflect on who they are and value what they have around them. So often, our kiddos don’t think about what makes them a good person and appreciate the good things in their life so this is a great opportunity to do just that!
On the printable, the students will draw a picture and write about what makes them lucky.
