Lucky the Leprechaun visited Mrs. Higgins's classroom today. The students created a leprechaun trap, wrote letters to the leprechaun, and together with Mrs. Gledhill, the students observed and tasted "ALL THINGS GREEN." They enjoyed green pancakes, green gummy bears, green juice, green beans, green kiwi, green apples, green peeps, and green Jell-O. The students wrote about their observations and shared them with the class.
Mrs. Hower's 3rd Grade class had plenty of St. Patrick's Day spirit too!
