Today when the children came into the classroom they noticed that something was a miss. Chairs were turned over, toys were spread around the room, and the contents of their book bins was dumped on their tables. I had no idea who made the mess. After we finished our morning greeting song, and I took attendance, a letter appeared on our smart board. It was from a Leprechaun. He told us that he was the mischievous one who made the mess in our room. He said that he hid shamrocks around our room, and that they would lead us to him and his pot of gold. We all know that if you find a Leprechaun he must give you his gold. The children each found one shamrock. They then sorted them by numbers. Next we used the letters on the shamrocks to make words. The words we made were, "In the hallway." We figured this was our clue. Next we went searching in the hallway. Sure enough, we were able to find the Leprechaun and his gold. Each child received a small treat.
Today the children visited three centers. We discussed how if you find a four leaf clover you can make a wish. The children then journal what they would wish for if they found one. At the second center the children played a St. Patrick's Day path game. They rolled a die, moved their counter, and picked a card from the playing deck. They then identified the letter on their card, produced its sound, and listed any words they knew that had the letter as their initial consonant. At the last center the children patterned green and white beads to make a shamrock necklace.
