Happy St.Patrick's Day!



With the excitement of Lucky the Leprechaun visiting the classrooms and the beautiful sunshine outside today I couldn't have asked for more creative enthusiasm!
Today I read the story Jack and the Leprechaun by Ivan Robertson to inspire the project. Although, there was plenty of inspiration in the room with Lucky leaving behind shamrocks, gold coins, and foot prints. Today students designed a house that they thought a leprechaun might live in. They began by drawing a tree to illustrate the scale of the house better to the viewer. We discussed how to show the texture of the tree and what a Leprechaun might have in his backyard - rainbows, shamrocks and pots of gold of course!
Next, imaginations went wild!
