With St. Patricks Day coming up, throughout the week our children in the Bumblebee classroom brainstormed and creatively planned how they could catch a Leprechaun!
They constructed a trap all by themselves, from gathering the materials - to putting it together. After finishing it yesterday all the kids left for home, anxiously waiting to see if their Leprechaun trap would be successful.Bumblebee teacher, Diana met the children when arrived with some interesting news. The Leprechaun had left a her a note stating that the children had to follow his clues to find his treasure!
Off the children went looking for large shamrocks in the colors of the rainbow. They had to find each color shamrock in order: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple. Adult clients laughed as they watched and heard the youth yelling as they found each clue. The shamrock trail led around the atrium and back up the stairs to their room door.
In front of the door hung a sign that the children had left the night before:
"Do Not Enter - Today we might have a visit from a Leprechaun. We ask that nobody, including parents open the door. We don't want the Leprechaun to get scared and not the gold for us! Thanks, Bumblebee Class"Knowing the last clue would be inside their room, the children crept through the door, hoping they had caught the Leprechaun in their trap.
Watch this video to see what they found!
The Leprechaun was not amused by their attempt to trap him and messed up the Bumblebee room! However, as a nice gesture, he did leave gold treasure for each child before he escaped.
