Luck'O The Irish To Ya...... or us!!

Last week, something started happening in Kindergarten! There were chairs turned over and on tables, coloring on the tables, toys left out and taken everywhere and to be quite honest a HUGE MESS. Math games were strung throughout the room and there was even glue on our "must dos", not to mention rainbow drawings and shamrocks drawn in odd places!
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. Patrick's Day) but not really enough figure it all out and how to make it stop. The best plan that we could come up with was to build traps! So, that is exactly what we did! Take a peek at some of the traps we built! Every student had great stories on how they would lure the leprechaun in and what would have to take place in order to catch them! Take a look and see traps, a glimpse of the messes and some very interesting clues!!!
