It’s that time of year again!
Time to celebrate all things Irish!
Traditionally, St. Patrick’s Day is known as a religious holiday marking the death of St. Patrick, a prominent bishop and missionary in Ireland near the end of the Roman empire. I am in now way a high school history teacher so I use March 17 as a way to bring all things green and all things Irish into my classroom. We use St. Patrick’s Day to focus on our creativity and imaginations to read, write, and create awesome learning experiences in our classroom.
Here are three resources that I use in my classroom throughout the week leading up to and including St. Patrick’s Day.
St. Patrick’s Day Literacy Unit – Leprechaun Wanted
This unit transforms your students into leprechauns for the day! Students receive a welcome letter from Cheery McTavish, adopt their Leprechaun name, and choose a job that best suits their leprechaun personality. All this, plus tons of St. Patrick’s Day activities to keep your students interested and engaged in their learning.

St. Patrick’s Day Leprechaun Wheel
This differentiated activity is a great art project or fast finisher activity. Students can use the already made template or they can write their own ideas on a blank wheel.
