Lucky Leprechaun!

Last week we were all about leprechauns and luck in our classroom!  I had the kids make Leprechaun traps for a family project and bring them to school so that we could try and catch the leprechaun.  There were some ADORABLE traps!!  We set them out all over the room on Wednesday and checked them the next morning.  I was certain we would catch him, but he was just too sneaky!  Boy did he mess up our room though!  He knocked over chairs, threw glitter everywhere and got his little green footprints on everything!  He even messed up the bathroom.  He did leave us some treats though.....green necklaces, gold coins and a baggie full of “magic powder”.  The leprechaun left instructions to mix the powder with 1 cup of milk for a “green surprise”.  So we mixed and mixed and ended up with {green}pistachio pudding!  .  Most of them  liked it, but they were totally weirded out by the pistachio bits {I told them they were lucky leprechaun nuggets}.  To end our fun day,  I filled  bags with Lucky Charms and a gold chocolate coin and left them on the kids’ desks.  We got to graph the marshmallows and then eat them!  They LOVED it!!
