This 31 page informational e-book uses visuals and relatively simple text (geared towards K-2 students) to answer the following questions about St. Patrick's Day:

o Who was St. Patrick?
o What is the history behind St. Patrick's Day?
o What are some of the symbols of St.Patrick's Day and where did they come from?
o How do people celebrate St. Patrick's Day today? Why do so many people around the world celebrate St. Patrick's Day?

This resource also includes:
links to you-tube videos showing St. Patrick's Day parades in New York, Montreal and Dublin, the "greening" of the river in Chicago and a short video on the history of St. Patrick's Day
links to websites providing further information on St. Patrick's day. Note: the reading level for these websites is much harder that the text from the e-book.

Balanced Literacy, French, EFL - ESL - ELD

I have been teaching for 20 years in a variety of school systems. 20 years ago I spent 4 years teaching ESL overseas and upon my return home to Canada I then spent 4 years teaching French Immersion in K, 1, 4, 5. This was followed by teaching Grade 1 for 5 years at an international school Japan with a large and varied ESL population mixed in with native speakers of English. I am now back in Canada teaching Grade 1 French Immersion again.
