St. Patrick's Day Fun

Well we must be some pretty persuasive Kindergarteners because look what Mr. Leprechaun left on the carpet for us. 

 

 The pot was full of gold coins, but unfortunately we were not convincing enough to get the real stuff.  We got something much better...CHOCOLATE!!   He also gave us a green good luck coin and left us a nice little note.  We have had so much fun with St. Patrick's Day this week!  Here is just a sample:

I saved the best for last.   We had a visit from Thing 1 and Thing 2 for reaching our Read Across America goal.  They stopped by and gave us pencils!!  Thanks to Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Suggs for being such great sports!  The kids loved it!!!

He's at it again...

Look what happened in our room this morning!  We had some pretty stunned kids...

 

Just look what a little leprechaun magic can do to a trap.

 

At least he left us some gold.  :-)  He also forgot his little hat. 

We tried some persuasive writing to get the leprechaun to leave us his entire pot of gold.  Some of us decided it might be best to hold his hat ransom.  We'll just have to see how "persuasive" we were.  

Leprechaun sighting

We actually spotted a leprechaun outside on the playground.  We had just finished writing about how we would trap a leprechaun!  We decided that they must have to freeze (like plastic) if they are seen.  I went back this afternoon and he was gone.  I sure could have used that pot of gold! 

We decided to make traps in case he decided to come in our classroom.  I hope one of us gets him...
