Our Little Leprechauns

We didn't catch the leprechaun this year but he did bring us some green clay to create our own little leprechauns.

I also love this St. Patrick's Day project from The Teacher Wife

Leprechaun Luck Probability

This is such a great game for probabilty. The more the students play the more likely they are to put all their playing pieces on the right number to be the first to win.

Magic Art

These are my favorite every year. The students think it's the coolest thing EVER. Don't be fooled... it's so easy to do. Have the students draw a picture on a piece of paper, copy it onto a transparency. Fold a large piece of white construction paper in half and have the students cut a colored frame from a small piece of construction paper. Have the students color the original drawing (it's looks cooler if every part is colored). Tape the transparency to the top of the drawing on one side. Tape the frame and the folded white piece of paper together but leave one side open. Put the drawing behind the white piece and the transparency on top. When they are pulled out it looks like the color magically appears.

This cool idea came from Art Paper Scissors Glue!. I just copied it instead of having the students retrace their drawing.

Shamrock Math

Directions: Circle the two numbers in each shamrock that make ten. Add all three numbers. Write the total.

3D Pattern Shamrock:

Have the students cut out five symmetrical shamrocks from folded paper in a least two different colors. Have them put glue on one side and stack them in a pattern. Glue the two end sides of the shamrock together to make a 3D shamrock.

Here is a weather/Umbrella themed math worksheet:

Paper Chain Necklace: Make the chain in a pattern.

Shamrock Art

We made vertical lines with a ruler on a shamrock pattern. Inside the shamrock we made horizontal lines to create a plaid pattern. We used water color to paint the shamrock in yellow and greens and then painted the vertical lines in a rainbow pattern.

 

This year we wrote about why we are lucky.

St. Patrick's Day

We made Leprechaun Hats

Here are some examples of our

leprechaun trap homework project.

We ordered the rainbow circles from largest to smallest and then added a pot of gold.
