St. Patrick's Day Fun!
/The Whales had a day chock-full of St. Paddy Day fun! We started by reading a book to find out all about Leprechauns, and just exactly how one might catch one of the wee rascals. We knew we had to be clever and design a trap that met the following design criteria. First, the trap had to include a way for a leprechaun to get inside. Second, it must include a place to hold something gold and shiny. In addition, we agreed that including an activity to keep the leprechaun distracted and happy was a clever idea. Finally, we knew it was only polite to include a letter, welcoming the wee folk into our trap without giving away our true intentions!
The Whales engineered some amazing traps, and we felt pretty confident that this year, FINALLY we might catch one of the wee rascals! After lunch, we walked into the classroom only to find a HUGE MESS! Those little imps had somehow gotten into the classroom and they left green footprints, gold glitter, and chocolates, tipping over chairs and messing up the writing caddies on their way through. Sadly, we did not catch a single one, though Whales saw endless evidence of the little people everywhere they went…..
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!
