Shamrock Bookmark
Although it would be nice to use a four-leaf clover for this craft, the
more common three-leaf variety will do very well indeed! The bookmark
will be lucky, in that it will help prevent you from losing your place
when you stop reading!
Here's what to do: Put your clover between 2 sheets of white paper, and
press between the pages of a heavy book. In a few days, when the clover
has dried, take it from between the pages of paper. Cut a strip from
some colored construction paper, and carefully glue your clover to the
top end. You can also laminate your bookmark to make it last longer!

Irish poems:
An Old Irish Prayer
Give us, Lord, a bit o sun
A bit o work and a bit o fun
Give us in all the struggle and sputter
Our daily bread and a bit o butter
Give us health our keep to make
And a bit to spare for other's sake
Give us, too, a bit of song
And a tale and a book to help us along
Give us, Lord, a chance to be
Our goodly best, brave, wise and free------
Our goodly best for ourselves and others
Till all men learn to live as brothers
