We're Lucky in Room 8!

Well it turns out we had a visit from a silly little leprechaun for St. Patrick's Day!  Lenny, our resident green friend, left his foot prints all over the room, and left a fun leprechaun hunt for the kiddos to go on first thing in the morning.  He didn't make a mess, thank goodness!  One sweet second grader said, "He must know that we like things neat in room 8!"  Ain't that the truth!  Here's a little synopsis of our fun and festive day.


Hunting for leprechaun sight words.


"Mining" in desks for precious metals and ores (keeping it academic and fun ;).


Making necklaces explaining copper, aluminum, nickel, lead, opal, sapphire, emerald, and ruby.

Continuing with our study of matter, students turned a liquid into a solid and made ice cream in a paint can.  I am still floored that this totally worked!  Keep it in mind next time you go camping!



Doing Skittle fraction math.
Making leprechaun punch to further explore solids, liquids, and gas.

And with me in the peace and quiet of the classroom (insert happy sigh here), learning all about quotation marks and writing funny comics.

Thanks again to the amazing parents that dedicate their time and talents to our classroom.  This day could not have happened with out you!
