St. Patrick's Day is next week, so let's do a round-up of some engaging, standards-based activities that you can do with your class!  I always loved to make the little foot prints around my classroom with green paint and green food coloring in the bathrooms.  I did not love, however, making leprechaun traps and all that, so I tried to make activities that were easy prep and standards-based.  I knew that if my admin came in, I was still teaching my standards, and students were engaged.  Let's look at some St. Patrick's day lessons, crafts, and activities that you can incorporate next week!

Leprechaun Inferences is one of my favorites!  Your class gets a special delivery and students have to use the clues inside to figure out that it's their read aloud for the week, The Gingerbread Man and the Leprechaun Loose in the School.

On St. Patrick's Day, the leprechaun leaves them a note with clues to follow around the school leading them on an inferencing scavenger hunt.  It's such a fun week that also reinforces comprehension skills!

They make these WANTED signs below to hang around in hopes of finding the leprechaun.

Students will use this inferences recording sheet to infer where they think the leprechaun is now and what clues they used to make the inference.  Save the last part for after the hunt.

The clues will lead students around the school to other clues, just like in the story.  The final clue will lead students back to your classroom.  You will need someone to place the final note from the leprechaun and a special treat in your classroom.  I grabbed this pot and gold-wrapped candy from Party City for the treat at the end.  You could grab cookies or something different for your treat.  I also scattered some of the printable gold coins around the treat.

Jamie O'Rourke and the Big Potato is another fun read aloud.  I have slides, lesson plans, and activities for the whole week in the March Bundle.  Everything is planned for you, so you can just print, copy, and teach.  So easy!

Make classroom management fun with these Classroom Management Games! I have included different games with themes that are perfect for the different seasons throughout the year. These games will help you focus on a specific behavior that needs improved by the whole group. Once that behavior is corrected, you can move onto another behavior and game. Student behaviors are positively reinforced by being rewarded at the end of the day, class period, or conclusion of the game.

These games are perfect for the little ones, since they need a quicker reinforcement and a visual of desired behaviors. Each game is geared toward a behavior you need improved, such as transitions, class volume, being on task, tattling, kindness, eye contact, listening, following directions, talking, stamina, making smart choices, etc.
