Leprechaun Traps

As you saw in your child’s homework folder this week, all first graders are constructing a leprechaun trap as part of their homework. The most important part of the trap construction is the plan. The students need to draw a diagram of their trap with labels. We've emphasized that they are the engineers and engineers solve problems (just like in our Lego engineering lessons). The kids need to bring them to school on Friday, March 14th. The kids will share their trap and explain how it will work. On March 17th, we will check to see if we’ve caught any of those clever leprechauns! The kids seem to really be having fun with this. We appreciate your help at home!
