024: St. Paddy’s Week- Creativity Themed Learning

Listen Later

St. Patrick’s Day is a holiday celebrated on March 17th that commemorates the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick. To start your celebration off right, write or tell a brief history lesson to your students with the main themes being Saint Patrick himself and Irish culture. Then dive into fun activities such as arts and crafts projects, quizzes on Irish folklore, or enjoy Celtic music.

Weekly Outline Themed Learning

  1. Book- find a story at the library, on your shelf, or online through digital books or YouTube read alouds. Sometimes it helps to enjoy a good story to spark creativity.
  2. Craft- something fun to get hands-on and creative with the week’s theme.
  3. Snack- who doesn’t love a themed snack? Enjoy a yummy treat and maybe (fingers crossed) introduce new foods.
  4. Writing- writing and drawing are so important for processing information and a great way to practice new language skills.
  5. STEM- working to solve a problem using science, technology, engineering, and math is always a win win!
  6. Outing- think of a local, fun place to go that ties into the week’s theme. There’s nothing better for creativity than getting outside.

    7. Send the secret word to @inspired.to.enrich on Instagram and I'll send you a couple of fun writing prompts!
