Do you know about a very special day in Ireland? 

It’s St. Patrick’s Day! 

It happens on March 17th, and everything turns green, with lots of shamrocks and fun all around.

Today, I want to tell you about the Leprechaun, a friendly and mischievous fairy who takes care of his pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. They say that if you catch him, he will grant you three wishes!

In class, we will learn some English words for this celebration:

• Shamrock (a small green plant) ☘️
• Leprechaun (a little Irish fairy)
• Pot of gold (a pot full of gold) 🍯
