My Own St. Patrick’s Day Memories
in a Grade 2 Classroom

I must admit that I especially enjoyed having a wee bit of “Irish” in my own heritage at this time of year! Whether or not YOU do, I hope that you will get some good ideas for your own classroom, homeschool environment, or after-school activities from this page.

One of my favourite activities was moving my “leprechaun” around the classroom every morning in March before the children arrived! The excitement in discovering him set off big smiles for the day!  (Monty Moose loved to get in the action and try to get some of our little leprechaun's “pot of gold”!) I always saved the “best hiding spot” for the last day… peeking out of the Dragon Kite on the ceiling!

On our “St. Patrick’s Day celebration”, we made our own “Irish Top Hats” along with leprechaun “ears”.  Although I must admit that the “ears” were a little tricky (hahaha!) to keep attached!

Math was a graphing game with Lucky Charms cereal.  Of course, “after the Math” you WERE allowed to EAT your charms!

For reading practice, I made a simplified sheet of information about St. Patrick’s Day.  We looked on a map to find Ireland too (a bit of “Social Studies” there!)

Our Grade 5 Buddies helped us out creating and reading some fun Limericks and rhyming couplets.  We overlapped shamrock tracers to create a design mixing different green “shading and patterns” for an art activity. Too bad I don't seem to have a photo of our talented artists!

Here's a cute activity to end off my "special memories"! (I'm "Noisy McWobbles"!)
