I love March in my classroom! I always teach about Ireland and Irish traditions. The students learn to read and create graphs. They practice graphing by voting on their favorite way to eat a potato and then they sort out their lucky charms cereal and graph what they have. They write riddles about green objects and leprechaun stories on pots on gold. The best part of our March activities is making and setting our leprechaun traps. The students and their families come up with some amazing ideas for trapping the leprechaun. Each morning the students hurry in to see if their traps were set off. Usually they find their traps have been tripped and some of their gold was stolen but no leprechaun can be found. It is so fun to see their imaginations running and their minds turning with ideas of how to make their traps fool proof.
