St. Patrick's Day/Magnets
At the start of the week, we will enjoy a few St. Pat's Day stories and short videos. We will respond to a written prompt or two and make some neat crafts. Usually that pesky Leprechaun shows up on the 17th, and kiddos would like to set a trap!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
By Wednesday, we should be ready to learn about magnets. We will watch a few "science" videos and experiment with magnets.
