Week 28 Letter Ii,larger numbers, transportation (after a bit of leprechaun mischief!)

Monday we arrived to a bit of leprechaun mischief!
It seems those little fellows had a bit of fun
at our expense!  
The green chairs stacked in the corner,
the calendar all messed up
PLAY ALL DAY written on our schedule,
green glitter everywhere,
and
a nice little treat tucked in our mailboxes
along with tiny little hats
were part of our fun!


We wrapped up some St. Paddy's day
morning challenges....





Oh, YES, another bit of LEPRECHAUN magic...
we found 100 coins hidden around the room!
Here is a kiddo putting the last one in!

We had tons of fun with the potato project!
We weighed and measured our pratties!

We recorded our data and drew our pictures....

Thursday's centers involved lots of 
transportation activities!
These smarties are sorting 
LAND WATER AIR vehicle....
