Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

We did a lot today for Saint Patrick's Day! First, we set a trap for a leprechaun while we were at the bag pipe assembly. We all came up with the best way to try and trap a leprechaun and unfortunately, it didn't work. But, he did leave the room a mess!! He did make up for it by leaving us gold coins and some Lucky Charms (a favorite cereal of leprechauns, or so I hear!).

We also learned about Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland and that he used shamrocks to teach people about the holy trinity.

Then, we made some beautiful rainbows and some fun little shamrocks to take home. Here are some pictures for you!

Mardi Gras King Cake!

In French, Madame made a King cake for Mardi Gras, which is a fun tradition for the holiday. A person will bake a cake with a plastic baby hidden inside. Whoever gets the piece of cake with the baby in it is in charge of making the cake for the following year. Maryann found the baby in the cake in French and her family was sweet enough (pun intended!) to bake a cake for this year to keep the fun going :) Maryann got to cut the cake and we distributed the pieces and our friend James found the baby! Thanks to Maryann's family for the really yummy cake!!

Interviews with a Friend

For one of our writing assignments, we were asked to interview a friend. We were to ask our friends something they like and something they do not like. Then we drew their answers and wrote them to the best of our ability. Here are some of the pictures of the students interviewing each other.

Here are some of our completed interviews! I love how cute they are :)
