To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, we read some fun books this week!

Students wrote about what they would do if they were a leprechaun. Their answers were so good! Take a look below at some examples.

We also practiced rhyming with some fun holiday pictures.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Students sorted Lucky Charms and filled out a graph. Then they got to enjoy them for a snack, yum! 
We read a leprechaun book as well.
