St. Patrick's Day Chaos

Following St. Patrick's Day tradition, we left a shoe in our cubbies, hoping to find some leprechaun treasure. When we arrived at school today, sure enough, there was a quarter in each of our shoes!

....but this is what our room looked like! Those crazy little leprechauns were up to mischief again! And though we tried our best, we were not successful at catching one. Maybe next year!

I Am A Leprechaun

I am a leprechaun and I love to dance.

I am a leprechaun with ants in my pants.

I am a leprechaun and I love green.

I am a leprechaun and I'm not seen.

I am a leprechaun and I love gold.

I am a leprechaun and I'll never grow old!

By Lucy and her mom

Preparing for St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day is the perfect opportunity to get creative and use some problem solving skills to build and design the perfect leprechaun trap. Mrs. Thomson's kindergarten classes planned two different yet interesting models.

The first was a leprechaun playground. It came complete with a swing set, slide and jungle gym. Only problem was that the gravely bottom possessed a sneaky surprise - beneath the gravel is no floor. All the leprechaun has to do is come down the slide and down deep inside a hole, where he will be caught and held fast by a sticky amount of duct tape, till we return in the morning for our pot o' gold.

The next trap was based on the same principle, only, instead of constructing a playground, we designed a leprechaun swimming pool. Now just to wait and see what happens....
