In this video, children will learn about:
- 🍀 STEM & Engineering: Thinking like an inventor to design creative “leprechaun traps.”
- 🍀 Rhyme & Rhythm: Following the fast-paced, bouncy text that builds phonological awareness.
- 🍀 Critical Thinking: Problem-solving as they analyze why each trap fails and how to improve the next one.
