Leprechaun Comments and Guest

This morning we got to look at our blogs.  We also had a special guest.  He said we inspired him to make his own leprechaun trap and come show it to us.  It was Mrs. Walker's husband!

Thank you, Mr. Walker, for coming to visit us and share your leprechaun trap.

This was his comment he left for us on our blog:

Wow! Those ideas are great ideas for Leprechaun traps. OK, here's my idea. Put a sign on the front of a box of Lucky Charms that says "Leprechaun birthday party inside. Free cake and gifts." As he is reading the sign, drop a net on the Leprechaun. Pick up the sides of the net and you have one caught Leprechaun.

We also got another interesting comment about our leprechaun traps.  Hmmm... we wonder what that means.

Decisions, decisions, I couldn't make up my mind on which GOLD I wanted to take so I am still on the loose! Keep your gold ready over spring break; you never know when I might stop by at your house!

Good Luck,

The Leprechaun

We made Leprechaun traps and wrote about them.  We shared our traps and writing about them with our classes.  See what our very creative second graders created.

  
 
 
 

How to Catch a Leprechaun
By Angelo

First I’d get all of the supplies like glue and some markers.  Second decorate the box with fake grass and glue it.  Third cut a hole. Then he falls where all of the gold is.  Next he gets trapped for good.  Then he will lead me to his gold.  Finally PS WHOOOOO!

First make a rainbow out of a box.  Second get a shoe box and color it green.  Third make a fake pot of gold.  Then make a trap with a net and wait for the leprechaun.  Trap the leprechaun in the net.  Finally the leprechaun can’t get out of the trap.

First get some makers and a box and a string a fake piece of gold and some scissors.  Second color the box green and tie the string to the box.  Third tie the other piece of the string somewhere else.  Next put the fake piece of gold in the box.  Then wait for a little bit.  Finally when he falls in cut the string and he can’t get out.

 
 
 

How to Make a Trap
By JaCorey

First, make a rainbow out of paper.  Second, decorate the box and put gold coins in it.  Third, if you have a net throw it on the leprechaun.  Next, get a cage if you have one.  Then, set the trap up and hide so the leprechaun can’t see you. Finally, Boom!!! The lid on the trap opened up. Now the leprechaun can get out.

 
 

How to Catch a Leprechaun
By Mykaela

First I get a box and I decorate the box.  Second, I get a hook and a rope and some tape.  When the leprechaun looks down and I will let go of the rope and I will get a pot of gold and when he says, "Hey, this isn’t gold coins. This is board that’s colored on."  I will laugh at him and let go of the rope.

Get a shoe box and get some tape.  Put gold beads in the box.  Make a ladder.  Put a stake to hold the box.  You write a sign that says “for Leprechauns.” The leprechaun runs in and the trap falls on him.

First I get a shoe box.  Second decorate the shoe box green.  Third put flowers which are four leaf clover.  Next get a fake gold coin.  Then when I catch him I am going to tell him to take me to his gold but I won't let him free.  Finally he will take me to his gold because he will iseap.
