Wow! What a fantastic job everyone did designing and writing about how to create a leprechaun trap that included at least one simple machine. The designs were amazing! Here are a few examples of traps that we set to try to catch a leprechaun.
Unfortunately, none of our traps were successful and those pesky leprechauns got away. We still had tons of fun on St. Patrick's Day - ask your child about a little room redecoration the leprechauns did! We ended the day with some Lucky Charms math - perfect for reviewing place value, skip counting and more. There really are A LOT of cereal pieces in those bags!
All week we learned about leprechauns with some leprechaun science. Look closely. Can you see the leprechaun eggs hidden in the water? Leprechauns hide their eggs in water so no one will find them. From leprechaun eggs, to green worms to green snow, last week was a fun week in second grade!
