How do you catch a Leprechaun??

 My students did an awesome job on their home school connection projects!! They were to go home and create a leprechaun trap. We have been working on our wood and paper unit in Science. They were to use some of the materials we have discussed in class when making their trap!!

 We researched and learned about Leprechauns!  Here are our questions and the answers we found!!!
