We created three layered shamrocks with construction paper. Students used tracers and cut out three different sizes of shamrocks. They used oil pastels to colour patterns onto each section. They were limited to using various colours in greens, blues, and purples. Once coloured the three layers were glued together.
Students created rainbow wishes to be made in the event they were to catch a leprechaun. Each student made a list of six wishes which were printed – one on each of six coloured papers. These were attached to a cloud with a poem about leprechauns on it.
Both of these activities are posted on our bulletin boards in the hallway outside of our classroom. Please check them out when you are at school.
