Leprechaun Stones - Turns out our class Leprechaun left us some stones. We found them all over the yard!
Once we found them all, we used some magic Leprechaun potion (vinegar - the coins were covered in a baking soda paste) to dissolve them and find the treasure inside... There were gold coins inside!
Leprechaun Traps - Recycled - The kiddos hurried inside to see how their traps did ... The kiddos made traps using recycled materials and every bit of green we could find.
No one caught him! Drat! But he did take the suckers we left him and he left us a treasure... (GOLD fish crackers and Leprechaun poop - Kisses) ... He also left us a treasure hunt outside...
Journal Time - The Leprechaun turned all of our markers GREEN! And he walked all over our journals leaving footprints ... and he left us some snazzy stickers!
Free Play - Rainbow Beans! - Look what else the Leprechaun left for us...
Craft Stick Leprechauns - A few of the kiddos didn't want to trap the Leprechaun, they wanted to create a home for him. So during free play they created their own leprechauns. (Jumbo craft sticks cut into thirds, felt hat, Sharpie faces)
Pot 'O Gold - The kiddos painted their wee pots with fingernail polish, then filled them with gold beads.
I saw this idea on this blog: Here!
Science - Turning Pennies Green - Since St. Patrick's Day
is Friday, we thought we'd see if we could turn pennies green. We
inspected our shiny pennies, then put them on a vinegar soaked paper
towel...
Day 1 -
Day 3 - Hmmm ... I thought they would be more
green. But we decided that maybe we shouldn't have left the lid on the
container (smelly vinegar), that maybe the pennies need oxygen and
vinegar to turn green. So we'll see how they do from today to Friday.
Oh and don't be alarmed by the orange paper towel, that was just food coloring bits from another project.
Day 5 - It worked! Wahoo!
