St. Patrick’s Day Activities: Ten Lucky Leprechauns
If you read my “Ten Grouchy Groundhogs” post, you would have seen that I love incorporating literacy into my math instruction! AND I love Kathryn Heling’s series of “Ten…..” books! Ten Lucky Leprechauns begins with one leprechaun searching for other leprechaun friends and treasures. This particular book lends itself perfectly to adding one.

The adorable illustrations are vibrant with color, while the rhyming text is full of new vocabulary words. As we read, we take time to define these words using the context clues from the text on that page.
I was lucky enough to get Ten Lucky Leprechauns from Scholastic a couple years ago. If you are unable to find it there, you can always grab it from Amazon using this affiliate link.

During our math instruction, I reread the story. This time, I have the students act out the story using a ten frame and counters. I stop after each page so that the students can model the story. Then, we orally recite the number sentence that fits this story problem…such as one plus one equals two.
After reciting the number sentence, we record it on our response sheet. We continue modeling the story with our ten frame and recording the number sentence until we reach the end of the story, which by the way is incredibly cute!

As a dedicated Kindergarten teacher for nearly 20 years, I believe the words “fun, play, and creativity” can sit right alongside the words “developmentally appropriate, engaging, and rigorous.” Learning is meant to be fun and messy!
