I have a naughty leprechaun in my classroom. Each morning Seamus has played some kind of trick on my owlets. They refuse to even try to make any fake gold because they like his tricks! They like finding the green sparkles he always leaves behind. They have written up some elaborate schemes for catching him, but I think they just want to be friends!
The first morning he spilled my coffee on the floor, then he left shaving cream at each person's place. Yesterday he left string that was attached at one end to a pencil and the other end to a bag of Lucky Charms. They got to give their small motor skills a work-out as they wrapped the string around the pencil to find the treat at the other end. Tomorrow I'm thinking it is time to toilet paper the chairs.
We've tried trapping him with a tape and today we thought we might be able to attract him to a field of clover. We're all hoping that he'll like the company of other leprechauns.
I was so glad to see Barbara's post yesterday. Her idea caused me to hear the words we love to hear..."This is the best day ever!" Go check out
