The week before Saint Patrick's Day, our class created "leprechaun traps" in the hopes of capturing one of the little guys and finding out where his pot of gold was hidden.
C filled his leprechaun trap with "SHINY stuff!" (sequins) as bait. He explained that gold is shiny, so he knew that leprechauns would be tempted to climb in his trap for "shiny stuff".
When C and his classmates arrived at school on Friday morning, they found what C described as "a terrible mess"! Chairs were turned over, our traps were upended, and - the unanimous favorite mess - the water in the toilet was green!
We looked and looked all over our classroom, but we never did find the leprechaun.
We were "lucky" enough to receive a special snack from our leprechaun visitor, though. We enjoyed making some Mixchief vanilla pudding (that turned green when you added milk) and a bag of Skittles and Rolo candies. Yum!
Happy (belated) Saint Patrick's Day!
