 Monday, March 17

Oh my, the shenanigans have already started!
Those sneaky leprechauns have left green footprints all over the morning message and have messed with a few things in our classroom! In fact, they turned all the papers for math & literacy mini-size and replaced the crayons and pencils with mini ones! Even more, they left a note on each of their traps telling the kids that they couldn't be fooled!
We will be on the lookout ALL day for more of their suspicious leprechaun activity...

~The sixth graders were a HUGE help to the littles! It was fun to watch them work together to make the best kind of trap to get those sneaky lepechauns! I will send the trap home with your child today.
