Dinosaurs and Leprechauns oh my!

This past week we have been busy learning about dinosaurs. Mrs. Ashley has been teaching us about dinosaur bones and fossils. We have made our own fossils out of macaroni and play-dough, also we made our very own dinosaur skeletons! Check them out on the bulletin board!










 Later in the week, we got ready for those sneaky Leprechauns! We built all different and interesting types of traps but still those sneaky leprechauns got away! We were all soo excited that they left behind some gold coins to share! :)
