We had such a fun St. Patrick’s Day celebration on Friday! The kids were so excited to check their leprechaun traps when they arrived at school. Everyone was a little wild, but I asked for that by making leprechaun traps and turning the room upside down, now didn’t I? We made a rainbow during science using various colored liquids. We continued our Math unit by sorting, tallying, and graphing our Lucky Charms marshmallows. We wrote a book about why we feel lucky, and it will be coming your way soon!
