Saint Patrick's Day!

St. Patrick's Day or the feast of Saint Patrick is celebrated on March 17th every year in honor of the anniversary of his death in 460 AD. St. Patrick was a patron of Ireland and devoted his himself to the christian religion. 

There are many symbols that represent this festive holiday and one is the Shamrock, the official flower of Ireland. St. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the holy trinity to the Irish and legend says that if you fund a four leaf clover on Saint Patrick's Day it will bring you luck. Each of the four leaves of the lucky clover represent hope, faith, love and luck! 

There are other popular symbols too: Leprechaun, Pot of Gold, rainbows, the harp and the color green. There are many countries in the world that celebrate St. Patrick's Day with parades, parties, dancing, drinking green colored beverages, eating corn beef and cabbage and many people wear green clothing, hats and shammrock pins to avoid being pinched. Don't forget to wear green on this Irish holiday!

Animal habitats

Different animals live in different habitats. Some of their habitats are very hot. Others are very cold. Some have lots of plants, or very few.

Animals adapt to their habitats. Watch this video and learn how!

Most land animals and plants live in rainforests:

 Few animals live in deserts. The weather there is very hot during the day and very cold at night time.

 Few animals live also in polar regions. It is so cold...brrrrrr...there is snow and ice everywhere!

 Many animals and plants live in forests. They can be cold and rainy or warm and dry.

   3. The roots and the stem grow bigger.
   4. The first leaves start to grow.
   5. The tree is big and has flowers.
   6. The flowers die and the fruits grow.
