St. Patrick's Day Craft & Writing

Wednesday was my Friday! Yay! Only because at our Christmas party I won a free trip for 2 to Nevada so we're leaving today for Laughlin. Don't worry we will be driving up to Vegas for a day too, although I'm not how much fun it can be for a pregnant gal. I'm still going to rock it in a bikini or at least try. Lol. Since I'll be away for St. Patty's Day I did a Leprechaun Yourself craft that I snagged from Amanda Pauley. Well we started it anyways. The kids will finish it with the sub. The kiddos had fun creating their leprechaun.

You're suppose to use the "real" green colour but since we have to send all our photo copies/prints electronically to our school district print centre when I requested regular green paper I got this light green paper. Oh well, green is green & the craft still looks great so far!

You've got to head over to Mrs. Pauley's Kindergarten and check out the final product.

We also wrote "If I found a pot of gold..." for St. Patrick's Day.

I tried explaining the finding a pot of gold would make you rich, like a million dollars, but I was amazed at how many would just buy gum or a cat. That must be some fancy gum! 

I introduced bean counting earlier this week and different ways to make 5. Here we are using our bean counting to create addition sentences and show different ways to make 10.
