Larry the Leprechaun [2013]!!
Larry the Leprechaun is the fictitious Leprechaun who visits our home the week before St. Patrick’s Day. Each year Larry surprises the kids with treats, activities and all sorts of fun. This year Larry kicked off his week by leaving a self-portrait at lunch and by doing a little ding-dong dash with shamrock shakes. Even though the kiddos know that Larry is imaginary they still love to play along with his mischievousness!
This is how Larry likes to practice sight words!
