St. Patrick's Day Fun!

This week was a short week for us.  Today we had a teacher work day to finish up our grade cards.  I assessed my kiddos all week to get their grades for grade cards.  I am always happy when assessment time is done because I am always scared I won't finish in time.  We started our Spring Break today too!!  Yay for Spring Break.  I think everyone is ready for a break.  Since we are now on Spring Break we had to celebrate St. Patrick's Day this week.  Here are some of the activities I did.

First we made Rainbow Wreaths.  The kiddos used watercolors to paint a rainbow circle.  Then they colored and cut 4 clovers and added them to the wreath.

We decorated Styrofoam cups in hopes that the Lucky Leprechaun would shrink them.

My kiddos really enjoyed all these activities.  I think they have a great week before Spring Break!!

I hope you have a Wolfelicious week!  Let me know if you need any Jamberry!!
