Leprechaun VisitTake

Take One

Take Two

Our trap didn't catch the leprechaun. :( we were so disappointed. Maybe next year! Here is what we found instead...




The leprechaun left us treats! Chocolate Gold Nuggets, Gold, and jewels (beads).

...and destroyed our room!!

He put our math umbrellas together all wrong! 

St. Patrick's Day Lesson Activities

We studied the colors of the rainbow. We discovered that the rainbow's name was Roy G. Biv, which stands for all the colors in the rainbow. After we discussed the colors, we made our own rainbow with fruit loops. Later for snack we had something special to eat. We had Lucky Charms, but we graphed our marshmallows while snacking on the cereal! After our graphing, we got to enjoy the marshmallows too.

Our Leprechaun Trap

We are hoping this is the year that we catch that naughty leprechaun! We are hoping that we trick him to climb the stairs, reach for the gold inside, and then fall into our trap!! 

We Made it Rain

On Thursday, we studied about rain. I explained that spring brings lots and lots of rain. We reviewed the water cycle and the vocabulary words evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. We reviewed information of stratus clouds and then we made our own rain. We filled a baggie up with about half a cup of soil. We spritzed the soil to make it moist, sealed the baggies, and taped them to a window. We are predicting that rain will made in our baggies and we have been observing the process. We have a few baggies with some condensation/"rain" running down inside. We think its cool.
