So an old childhood friend contacted me yesterday to find out my ‘secret’ for making leprechaun feet. I’m am completely baffled. My secret? What? Doesn’t she believe that leprechauns made those little footie prints?
Of course, she had seen my pictures of the my classroom and home where the leprechauns visted last year.
You can imagine with a name like McGuire and three small boys with names like MaGill, McCoy and MacKale that the leprechauns are particularly fond of us. They are!
Those little buggers literally TRASH my house
and my classroom
and pull all kinds of shenanigans.
We try to catch them. My boys have even claimed to have seen the little men, but, alas, we’ve never caught one. The little fellas do feel some remorse because they always leave us a little something for the trouble of cleaning up after them. So I guess it’s not all bad.
All this thinking about leprechaun feet (drop me a comment if you want to know how it’s done) has me wondering what those little men in green will pull this year. I thought I would send a little lucky freebie your way in hopes that the leprechauns will be kinder to me this year.
As an added note, if you check out my blog post from 3/7/12 you can find out how to make those little leprechaun feet. Enjoy!

With nearly 20 years of experience as a full-time kindergarten teacher, I’m committed to creating a classroom where learning is joyful, engaging, challenging, and fun. Each day, I work to ensure that my students feel successful through instruction that considers their unique interests, learning profiles, and readiness levels. I believe that students should be excited to come to class and enjoy a myriad of hands-on activities that encourage exploration and discovery.
While I continue to teach full-time, I find so much joy in connecting and building friendships with teachers worldwide. It’s why I started this blog back in 2012. My hope has become a reality as I have been able to forge relationships with teachers, sharing ideas and building friendships beyond my little neck of the woods through professional development sessions and this blog.
So by all means, take some time to look around and explore A Differentiated Kindergarten. Gather some new ideas, fun tips, and most importantly, don’t forget to reach out and say, ‘Hi!’
