Leprechauns!

Last week we read a story about a leprechaun and practiced retelling the beginning, middle, and end of the story.  Then we created a "how to" list of how to catch a leprechaun.  Students helped me sound out the words and write the letters onto the sentence strips.  Then, they created their own leprechauns and wrote a sentence describing their leprechaun. Some examples included, "______________'s leprechaun loves gold." "___________'s leprechaun likes to share his gold with friends."
