Happy St. Patrick's Day

The traps are set!  Now ALL my wonderful 1st graders have to do is cross their fingers and wait to see if they caught a wee little leprechaun.

I can hardly wait to see their faces and excitement as they enter the classroom tomorrow morning and see this mess!

We will be playing detective to infer all we can about leprechauns based on what they did to our classroom. We will also be playing all sorts of games, learning about St. Patrick's Day, listening to Irish music and attempting to do a jig.

We will of course be graphing and eating Lucky Charms and doing a simple rainbow experiment too. There will also be plenty of word work activities - including those in my FREEBIE pack below.

Grab a copy HERE before it disappears just like those little mischievous leprechauns!

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Tick Tock...Shamrock Clocks

Last week we tackled chapter 17 in our math book - telling time to the half hour. Since we have been practicing telling time all year, most of my students have this skill down and are ready to move on to telling time to the quarter hour. So, I created a new game with an Irish Twist called Tick Tock Don't Let the MONSTERS Eat Your Clocks! I am certain that my kiddos will have fun telling time to the hour, half hour, and quarter hour with these SHAMROCK clocks, while trying their best to avoid the clock-eating monsters.

The game and flash cards are available now in my TPT store. Check it out!
