What educators are saying

My students LOVED this activity! They thought the book was great and were telling ideas of how to catch him before I even introduced the STEM challenge. They were all in!!

— Jaclyn T.

Rated 5 out of 5

My students loved making the leprechaun traps and working together in groups. Their designs were very creative and they had so much fun with this resource. Planning pages helped them get organized before building their trap.
