Did you think I wouldn't write about those crazy leprechauns? Silly you!

Around March 17th, something happened to our classroom. When we arrived at school, our classroom was destroyed and noone ever saw anyone going in or out! There were chairs and coloring on the tables, toys left out and taken everywhere. Math games were strung throughout the room and there was even glue on our "must dos", not to mention rainbow drawings as well! Can you believe it? Rumor has it that some crazy leprechauns came into our school and tried to learn but have not been taught how to behave and/or take care of our things. We did try to leave them a letter (making sure to be specific) telling them that we don't mind them coming but there are rules in our room and they are going to have to make sure and follow them. We didn't like cleaning up after them (Just like Mrs. Ryan keeps telling us about her having to pick up after us!!) Of course, those tricky leprechauns left all kinds of "clues" for us to analyze and help us learn about the actual holiday (St. Patricks Day) but not really enough figure it all out. The best thing we came up with was to build traps! So, that is exactly what we did! Take a peek at some of our traps we built! Every studenthad great stories on how they would lure the leprechaun in and what would have to take place in order to catch them.

Oh, by the way, we didn't end up catching a leprechaun. They are so tricky! They were interested and were occupied by our traps leaving footprints all over our room! Believe it not, they even left us a note and some "chocolate gold" coins but no leprechauns were found anywhere! We sure did have fun trying though!

A little note from the teacher!

I need to say how very sorry I am that I haven't been better about updating our blog this past month. My whole family has been quite sick (Including me!) and we have had a terrible time getting over it! For this reason, each night after I got home, I was either too tired to play on the computer or I had sick kids or a husband to take care of. I do hope you know how much I enjoy working with your children and that pictures are taken almost daily, even if they are not posted here! (Please don't worry! I am making each family a little surprise for the end of the year!!) I am feeling much better now and hopefully, we will get back into the routine of posting and keeping you all updated!
Thanks for understanding!!! Thanks again for the opportunity to work with your kids! I love each of them and am so proud of them all!
