Scavenger Hunt Sunday

Did you we were visited by Lucky the Leprechaun in Room 112!?!?

We knew there was one in Harlan because we saw security footage from that morning showing a leprechaun climbing through the window and look around an upstairs classroom!  Later, we came back from PE to find our room a total mess!  Things were knocked over, spilled, broken and left all over the room!  Upon further inspection, we noticed little green footprints everywhere...on desks, animal tanks, bulletin boards...even the bathroom!











Then we noticed our first clue on the board!


This took us on a scavenger hunt to find the leprechaun, catch him and get his pot of gold!

We went to the office...


where the next clue sent us to the media center...


then to the front doors of the school...


off to the lunch room...


outside to the playground...



and finally back to our classroom where we found...NOTHING!  

We were so disappointed!  We were sure that we were going to catch that leprechaun.

After all that running around, we needed a break!  We decided to sit quietly and listen to a story before we made our next plan to catch the leprechaun.

You will never guess what happened next!  While I was sitting and reading in Big Comfy, I was having a hard time getting comfortable.  The kids even noticed how I kept moving around.  After a few minutes I had to know why the chair felt so lumpy.  When I lifted the cushion, we all screamed as dozens of gold coins came spilling out!  We found it!  The gold was ours!


Hidden in the pile of gold was a letter.  It said that if we were reading the note, we must have found the gold!  Unfortunately, it also said that the leprechaun was long gone at that point.  He was on his way to Disney World!  He even asked us if we knew how tall he would have to be to ride It's a Small World!


At least we all got a share of the gold and a great story to tell!

Tomorrow's post...Surprise!  Could your family be joining us in Room 112?!?
