So yesterday my mom wonderful mom helper painted my sweet firsties hands to do this cute leprechaun craft. I added some lucky writing and I’m all set. I added some raffia – raffia just makes anything look cuter. LOL
Here are some other fun things: pointers for reading groups. The word detectives are pipe cleaners shaped like magnifying glasses. We look for vocab or sight words during our picture walk and I can quickly see who can find/read them. One of my students shaped some of them into hearts though. ( silly girl )

Halloween witchy pointers

Now off to P90X 2 — it’s calling my name.(sort of) LOL
I love using different reading pointers. I always check the $1 bins at Target and craft stores for holiday themed stir sticks. They work great!

Hi Vicky, I'm so glad you stopped by my blog so I could find you. Now I'm your new gfc follower. The little Leprechaun handprints are so cute and the pointers would make reading and learning so much more fun.
Thanks for leaving me blushing tonight with your sweet words. They were such a pick-me-up and couldn't have come at a better time.
Hope you have a great nights sleep.
