Every year the first grade classrooms make Leprechaun Traps as a home project. They set them up the day before St. Patrick's Day in the hope of catching a leprechaun. The next day kindergarten comes through to see the traps and hear their stories. It is always a great time to see former students and admire the families' creativity. But the best part is also the sense of wonder in the children's eyes and voices as we look at the traps. The magic of childhood!
This year we also had some leprechauns visit our rooms! From small messes to green glitter and footprints, the nighttime visitors let us know they enjoyed our rooms. One class was even left a magically powder that turned into green pudding! We enjoyed an Irish snack of corned beef and potatoes. The best part was dessert, rainbow cupcakes! Even if we didn't catch a leprechaun, it was a fun day.
