St. Patrick's Day Project

Due:Wednessday, Febraury 29th

For the March family project, you will have a choice. Students can choose whether to design a rainbow or create a leprechaun trap.

For the rainbow, use the attached rainbow and be as creative or imaginative for each arc of color as you’d like. You can use many different items for the arc colors such as yarn, cloth, magazine pictures, beads, markers, etc. Encourage your child to offer their ideas, cut, color, and glue so they will be involved in the process. 

The leprechaun trap project should not be much larger than a shoebox and needs to have at least 1 moving part to trap the leprechaun.  Keep in mind how you will attract the leprechaun to your trap as well as how you will entice him to go in your trap!  Be clever, smart, and tricky!  Build the trap using nails, glue, or string to make your trap “leprechaun tight!”  Don’t make it too big - remember you’re catching a tiny leprechaun, not a giant!  Be ready to explain how your trap works. You will use your trap to demonstrate.  **Hint: Leprechauns are tricky fellows! They like shiny things, things that glitter. They are often naughty and disobey signs.
