There are many links to St. Patrick's Day in the holiday sites we've listed
in NetNotes previously, but this site is worthy of inclusion by virtue of the
great activities for kids - from making rainbows to decorative crafts and cards,
interactive games, trivia quizzes and on-line leprechaun stories. An emerald
of a site with Ireland links too!
Another great site about St. Patrick's Day and Ireland with interesting information
for adults and kids alike. In the "Computer Goodies" link, you can download
screen savers, backgrounds, clip art, midi files and all things Irish to spiff
up your personal computer or webpages.
This is a collaborative model educational site that offers interdisciplinary
(English, Math, Science and Social Studies) activities around St. Patrick's
Day and the study of Ireland - geared for grades 3 to 8 - very nice.

Earth Day
April 22 - There is no official Earth Day organization as
Earth Day belongs to the public. This site links resources and spotlights many
grass roots efforts. The section "For Educators" is a good starting point for
planning activities. This site is more appropriate for older students and adults.
