Kindergarten and 1st Graders helped save the leprechaun's treasure today. Rainbow bridges were constructed during Tech class today. Using pipe cleaners, play dough, and a small cup students were asked to create a "rainbow" to hold the leprechaun's treasure. We did a great job!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Our second graders had a blast today, creating colorful leprechaun drawings and paintings. They were so excited, imagining all the tricks those little guys might play. And of course, the big topic of the day was how they'd love to catch a leprechaun and find a pot of gold! They had some very clever plans!
