Activities and Ideas for March in the Primary Classroom!

Spring is on its way (ohhhh hallelujah!) and I am looking forward to a reprieve from the cold, gray days of winter!! March is a great time to use some themed resources and projects to get your kiddos over that winter slump! Today I'm sharing some of my favorite activities to use during the month of March!

Leprechaun Traps!!

Hands down, my FAVORITE project to do with my students right before Spring Break is this STEM activity!! A week or two before we start this unit I like to place a box out for collection of student donations. I ask for various items like shoe boxes, amazon boxes, used containers (yogurt, applesauce), paper towel rolls, string, etc. They just need to rinse anything that contained food and bring it in throughout the week. This builds major anticipation AND takes the burden off the teacher to provide alllll the materials. 

If you'd like to read more about my Leprechaun Traps STEM Unit, check out THIS BLOG POST! You can find this set in my TeachersPayTeachers store HERE or simply click the picture below.

Leprechaun themed Math Jokes & Riddles

I love using these jokes and riddles sprinkled throughout the month of March! Perfect for morning work, centers, or as a fast finishers practice page! This set was designed for 1st grade but can also be used as remediation or enrichment for Kindergarten or 2nd grade classrooms as well. Students are presented with a joke/riddle and must solve the math problems in order to learn the answers. Math with a purpose!! These sheets are great for practicing math skills and demonstrating mastery. 

​This set includes:

* Addition to 20
* Subtraction to 20
* Doubles & Doubles +1
* Mixed Addition & Subtraction
* Ten More
* Ten Less
* Mixed Review Ten More, Ten Less

Leprechaun Read Alouds

I have two Leprechaun themed Read Alouds that I love to use during March. The first book I recommend is How to Catch a Leprechaun by Adam Wallace (grab it on Amazon HERE).

I use this book to focus on the theme of perseverance! Click the picture below to check out more details! ​

The other read aloud I love to use is a Scholastic book called Leprechaun on the Loose by Marcia Thornton Thomas. It's a great companion to the Leprechaun Traps unit but also a great book to use if you're only celebrating St. Patrick's Day for a day!
