In STEM Adventures at Mirror Lake Elementary School DCSS GA , kindergarten classes explored making leprechaun traps for their monthly parent engagement project. After completing the crafty creation, students hid their traps around the classroom and waited to see if they could catch a leprechaun.
Unfortunately, the leprechaun proved to be too savvy for the traps, leaving the kindergarten classrooms in quite a mess. Despite the tiny creature evasion, the leprechaun graciously left gold coins behind in all the classrooms to reward their tremendous effort!
“The STEM based project was a huge success, and the students did a great job of explaining how their leprechaun traps worked. It was a fun and memorable experience for our kindergarten students,” said media specialist Kelly Summers.
