Leprechaun Fun!

Over the past three weeks we did different activities to entice leprechauns to visit our classroom. We made shamrocks for our classroom door and windows. We learned leprechaun poems and songs. We made a leprechaun drawing on the iPad and then wrote about what the students thought a leprechaun looked like. The students wrote about why they thought they were lucky. Liam the leprechaun did visit our classroom a few times and left us tricky messages that we turned into our Kindergarten News. Liam asked the students to write to him and tell him where a good hiding spot in the classroom would be to hide his treasure while he was here visiting Pine Glen from Ireland. The students wrote persuasive letters to Liam to tell him where a good hiding place would be and why they thought it was a good place. Liam must have been impressed by these letters because he left treasure for the students a few times! The kindergartners also worked on a leprechaun book about prepositions on location words (above, under, in, on, beside, left and right). We celebrated St. Patrick's Day one day early, on March 16th. We ended our day reading two books about leprechauns.
