Happy St. Patrick's Day

This morning we walked into the classroom to find that "leprechauns" has visited our classroom over the weekend and left little green footprints and strewn tons of our supplies about (crayons, chairs, books, etc.) After a clean-up effort by the whole class, we were able to start the day.

Writer's Workshop: After discovering that "leprechauns" had visited our class, we decided to write letters to the leprechauns. We reviewed the elements of letters (date, dear ________, message, closing, and our name). Students came up with messages including: "What do you eat?", "Where do you live?", and "Do you want your gold back?"

Activity: We made large leprechauns and decorated them. They turned out GREAT!

Library: Today in Library Mrs. Williams read us two stories - one fiction and one non-fiction. We also were able to check out new library books.

Social Studies: We completed another page for our Flag book (which is almost done) which told us the colors of the flag and what they stood for. Red is for courage. White is for truth. Blue is for Loyalty.
