It was so great to watch the children in yoga today.  Clearly, it was a fun, and exciting day.  Then, in the afternoon, we asked the chidden to focus themselves, and participate in a yoga lesson.  In which, they had to utilize skills that required focus – such as collecting pom pons with their toes.  What a great way to end a fun St. Patrick’s Day!

Today, in case you haven’t heard, there are leprechauns on the loose, (and a few stray mice!).  We, as a class, were on a mission to capture the elusive leprechaun, and bring the gold back to our families!  However, as amazing as our traps were, and as luck would have it, those sneaky leprechauns defeated our traps, and escaped.  Apparently those leprechauns felt bad for all of the work we had done, and left us some treats for our efforts.

 

Our STEM challenge today, was to build a trap using a simple machine, to hopefully catch either a leprechaun or a mouse!  Unfortunately our traps came up short, but the children worked hard on their projects.
