St. Patrick was a fifth century Christian missionary to Ireland. As a child, he was kidnapped and enslaved by Irish pagans. He escaped, and then returned as an adult to spread the Word of God in Ireland until his death.
So, Mrs. Andrews goes on to say how she wants the Kindergarten children to have a better understanding of who God is; and not simply offer what the world would have them absorb. Therefore, they will not look for pots-o-gold, wish for good luck, have leprechauns or allow any pinching.
They will however, discuss the role of a missionary, the calling of Patrick, and the country of Ireland. Mrs. Andrews will also discuss the three segments of a single clover leaf to demonstrate the Holy Trinity.
Isn't that wonderful! I just love Christian Education. Yeah, we can do all this at home, but now they can get it at home and at school! Thank you Jesus for examples of you today and for Godly teachers who teach our children to walk in your ways.
