Spring means...

Today is the first day of spring, although you wouldn't know it by the crazy weather... snow, hail, sun, rain and wind all in one day.  Jason snuck outside when he could to trim our cherry tree.  Now let's hope for some cherries this summer, we normally don't have much luck.

Good as new...

I know that I already had a photo of Jaimee with her new car, but that was a rainy day first day photo with an iPhone.  I had to take a 'real' photo today as it was sunny and her dad had washed and waxed it for her.  Doesn't she look good in it!  

And he got away...

Unfortunately we did not catch any leprechaun this year.  We almost got him (a piece of his clothing was stuck in this trap, but the footprints told the story.  Luckily though, he left us some clues around the school and at the end we found a pot of gold chocolate coins.  The students and I had a blast this week, but now I am pooped.  Till next year...

The traps

So here are the rest of the photos I took of the traps.  I just love listening to the students as they work together discussing how they are going to build the traps, how they will work, what they are going to do with the gold... it is just priceless.

To the...blog???

This was supposed to be my photo of the day yesterday, but I forgot to take it.  We are setting leprechaun traps and when I saw this I almost cracked up!  Remember grade ones often reverse the lowercase 'b and d'  in this case she not only did that but wrote the word in the direction she wants you to look... However, is she leading the leprechaun to her gold or her blog! LOL!

I went in early this morning to take the pics before the leprechaun did his tricks.... More photos tonight when I have more time to post.

First Car!

Jaimee has worked hard and saved her money for a year and along came this car... just what she wanted!  We are so proud of her! Way to go Jaimee!  Her first car!  (now to get that N)
