On Friday, we created some simple machine traps.  We learned what some basic simple machines are, and then the children planned on how to incorporate a simple machine into their trap.  I was impressed with how the children planned, designed, and reflected upon their designs.  It was a fun way to end the week. 🙂  I was sad to hear that no one was successful in trapping one of those sneaky leprechauns.  I hope they didn’t play too many tricks at your homes.  We are still drinking green milk, in our house.  😉
