RAINBOWS, SHAMROCKS AND LEPRECHAUNS!

LEPRECHAUN'S GOLD

The children picked a number card and divided gold (cereal) between the leprechauns to see if they would get fair shares.  The children had to write the amount each leprechaun received using the appropriate symbol to show if the numbers were equal, greater than, or less than.  Of course, it's always great to eat the manipulatives.

LEPRECHAUN BASKETS AND MORE

We made these adorable leprechaun baskets hoping to catch a leprechaun.  See the leprechaun ladder hanging?  That was for the leprechaun to climb, which he did and lost his shoe!  Do you see it hanging up there?

No luck catching him, but he did leave a note and gave us some treats.  We saw all the gold dust he left around the room,too.

The children made leprechaun hats to celebrate St. Patty's Day.

Look at this little leprechaun!!!

RAINBOWS

After reading about colors and rainbows the children cut a cloud shape and measured streamers to make a rainbow.  Then the children wrote about  what they would find in the pot at the end of the rainbow.

LEPRECHAUN GLYPH 

Here are our adorable leprechauns made from following the glyph directions.  I like the way each one has its own personality - some are sitting, kicking their legs or waving their arms.

LEPRECHAUN MAKING WORDS

This is a fun and challenging activity for the kindergarten kids.  It's fun to hear the excitement and discussions going on as the students make words.  This activity gives the children practice in making words using word families, popcorn words, and sounds from our sound chart.

The children practiced counting by tens.

SHAMROCK MEASURING

The children measured a shamrock's width using non-standard units of measurement and then used a ruler to measure in inches.
Note: This is not my creation.  I found this wonderful activity in my files.

RAINBOW SOUNDS

The students picked three small objects and listened for the beginning and ending sounds in the word.  Some of the students knew how to spell the word, but I reminded them it was a listening activity and not a spelling activity.
