He's struck again!

Wednesday, March 13, 2013

That little stinkin' leprechaun! He came again this morning.

(that clue is from my Leprechaun Hints unit)

Why on earth does he have to come first thing in the morning? Really? Those peeps are WILD all day long. And....don't even ask me how many necklaces I took away (made them put in their backpack) because they were swinging those things around, placing them over their ears and in their mouth, or trying to choke themselves.

I made a little surprise for them tonight. We will have a small St. Patrick's Day party on Friday. (I actually made 2 batches...one for my girl's class too.) Here's a hint:

Give up? We made these:

They were not the easiest thing I've ever done. I'll be honest....some look more like tie-dyed instead of rainbow! :) The kids won't mind! They are only worried about the taste!

Rainbows and Leprechauns

Saturday, March 09, 2013

Eek! I swear I love this holiday! :) We did these cuties from Cara Carroll on Monday.

(Note: I had extra leftover hats from a project a few years ago where the parent made like 100 copies instead of 10, so I used those. I like her hats better. My girls also wanted bows and well, I totally get that so we did bows!)

We also made these cuties that I saw on Pinterest. LOVE!

Our little leprechaun has already been in our room being sneaky!!! That stinker! He's been leaving little clues from my Leprechaun Hints unit.

The kids are WILD about it. Literally. Wild! That is one thing I love about 5 year olds. Every single one of them believe the leprechaun is messing up our room! Cracks me up!
Have a great weekend! It is supposed to be beautiful here today! YAY!

St. Patrick's Day Product Linky Party

Sunday, March 03, 2013

I am linking up with Mary at Sharing Kindergarten in her St. Patty's Day linky party.

I LOVE St. Patrick's Day!!! We begin by making leprechaun traps. You can grab my letter to parents below. (I secretly think the parents love it as much as the kiddos do!)

To keep the kiddos ~~crazy and wild~~ excited about their traps, the little green guy comes and visits about every other day throughout the 2 weeks. Each day he does different things to our room. Sometimes he leaves green glitter/confetti, destroys our room, leaves green footprints, leaves necklaces, etc, etc, etc. The last day before St. Patrick's Day we go on a hunt throughout the school. This is similar to our Gingerbread Man hunt. I created easy to use Leprechaun hints to help you with this little adventure.

Included are hints for the actual leprechaun hunt but also a few hints that the you can leave throughout the week as he visits the classroom!

We have lots of fun in our literacy and math centers using the activities in my Lucky You Literacy and Math Unit.

My kiddos love graphing....especially with food! Every year we do a graphing activity with Lucky Charms cereal! You can grab your freebie below!

Make sure you check out all of the other great bloggers with great St. Patrick's Day ideas!

I can do it, I can do it

Saturday, March 17, 2012

I know I can make it until Spring Break. I know I can! We still have 1 1/2 weeks left. This is the LONGEST time without a break. We have usually had 5-6 snow days between January and Spring Break, but not this year. I think this is the first year in like 8 years that we have actually gotten the 2 days before Spring Break (that are make-up days).
We had so much fun last week. Here are the cute leprechauns we made. I have always just done the boys with hats but this year the girls said they wanted girl ones...so we made one up real quick. I thought they turned out ADORABLE!!

We also did our leprechaun writings:

I usually have 100% participation on the traps, but this year I only had about 1/2 of the kids complete there. Here are a few:

This one had that little bought that lit up and blinked different colors:

One of my parents made these rainbow cupcakes for our little party. They were SUPER cute!

I plan on keeping it low key until Spring Break. It's been crazy and I'm ready for a little routine. They are ready for Spring Break and are wild as all get out. How about you? Are you on break now?

What is the world is going on?

Wednesday, March 07, 2012

Talk about the WEIRDEST year ever. First we have no snow days (well 1, but we usually have almost 10). Then we have TORNADOES and get out early (like 11:30) last Friday because we are expected to have severe weather. Then now...in March...we have a FLU epidemic. Yep...you know the flu that gets most people in December or January? Well, it has hit our school system. One school in our district is closed on Thursday and Friday due to the flu. I have had 5-6 out everyday this week. That means I have had 12-13 kids each day. It's been a BREEZE! My poor kiddos though...I want them better and to be back! We think my brother has the flu and now my mom feels awful! YUCK! Get that stuff out of here. Has the flu hit your schools yet?
We are full speed ahead into March and our St. Patrick's Day activities. Today we made these I found on Pinterest. They are so cute and bright!

Tomorrow we are making a version of these:

We are also going to make some green splat. I do this every year and my kiddos LOVE it:

I seriously LOVE this holiday. I cannot wait to see all of the traps we get this year. I will take pictures for you! You will be amazed! We are gearing up for lots of fun with St. Patrick's Day centers next week. I have seen lots of cute ones I have in my wishlist on Teachers Pay Teachers that I will be buying tomorrow! We will also be using my Lucky Me! unit! You can grab yours by clicking on the picture below:
