St. Patrick's Day Teaching Resources
Lesson Plans and Activities for March
Welcome my St. Patrick's Day Teaching Resources web page for teachers.
On this page, you will find St. Patrick's Day and March teaching resources for English,
powerpoint lesson plans, bulletin board displays, and printable worksheets for creative writing assignments.
Since St. Patrick's Day is not a very large holiday, I have not created as many themed resources
for this holiday as I have for some of the other months. All of my St. Patrick's Day
teaching resources can be found on this page.

March is the perfect time of the year for your students to "Think Green" because St. Patrick's
Day is associated with the color green.
This set of environmental teaching resources is designed so that
you can link your language arts and science lesson plans together.
Think Green is a teaching resourcse set that includes a creative writing worksheet on which
students can write an essay about ways to help protect the environment or tips for recycling items that are used in their homes.
This set of environmental lesson plans also includes a recycling sticker chart and an award certificate.
There are 11 pages of printable worksheets in this set of environmental teaching resources:

Below: This sticker chart can be cut out along the thick black borders so that you have
uniquely shaped recycling trash can sticker charts. There are 20 boxes for students to earn stickers for
performing tasks that are related to recycling or that are helpful to the environment.
(color and black and white printable worksheets)
Below: You can present this award certificate to your students at the end of this
Think Green unit or when they have completed their sticker charts.
I have included a sticker chart in this recycling and environmental set of teaching
resources because I use this incentive chart with my students during the months of
March (Think Green) and April (Earth Day is April 22).
I begin this unit in March to tie in with green for St. Patrick's Day and finish
it in April to tie in with April 22, Earth Day.
During March and April, my students complete various tasks to earn stickers on their
Think Green sticker charts. These tasks range from bringing in aluminum cans from home,
collecting paper in classrooms to recycle, or writing about something that they have
done at home that helps to conserve energy or protect the environment.
I finish this unit on April 22, Earth Day. On this day, our class has a Think Green Earth
Day party. All of the food items for this party are required to be green in color or
healthy vegetables. My students have brought in cucumber sticks, green pasta with peas
and broccoli in it, tossed salads, tabouli, and for dessert I have made green jello.
For our Think Green Earth Day party, we use paper plates (no plastic allowed) and students
bring in their own fork or spoon so they don't throw plastic forks and spoons in the
trash. If my students bring in food to share with their classmates, it has to be in washable
containers which students would bring back home with them.
Although my students were having a party with primarily healthy food, they had a great time and
enjoyed every minute of it.
By talking about how we can prepare for our Think Green Earth Day
party so that we won't have to throw away any plastic or aluminum foil, it made my students
think about how they could follow these same procedures for other similar events.

The first thing that teachers do each month is change their classroom calendars.
Above is an example of
my printable monthly calendar for March. I have designed the calendar templates in this
holiday calendar to fit inside the monthly calendar pocket charts that many
teachers use.
The large March calendar title is a 2 page banner template that is glued together and cut out.
This printable calendar set for March includes large calendar templates for the 7 days of the
week: Monday (shown above), Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
This printable calendar set for March includes smaller calendar pieces for the 7 days of the
week that will fit inside your calendar pocket chart.
The square calendar number dates (1-31) also fit inside pocket charts. There are square birthday
calendar templates for you to print and write your students' names and birthdays on.
This set includes a printable blank calendar piece (not shown) for you to use for a variety of different purposes.
There are 11 printable calendar pages in this March teaching resources calendar set.
Thank you for visiting my St. Patrick's Day Teaching Resources page.

Your lesson plans for Stellaluna, Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas have saved me so much planning time this year. My Gr. 3 students really enjoyed completing the projects that you designed for each of these books. I was able to create great Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas displays in my classroom this year with their projects. Thanks for sharing your ideas and for saving me time.

My students loved your seasonal powerpoint games for Halloween and Thanksgiving. They thought they were playing a game instead of reviewing grammar ;-) I've already purchased all of your other holiday powerpoint lesson plans. Keep making more of these great activities, more POWER to you Heidi!

I just wanted to say thank you for the most amazing teaching resources that I have ever come across in my thirty years of teaching. I have used many of your book report sets this year and my students absolutely loved them. What was particularly pleasing was seeing some of my reluctant readers (especially the boys) really wanting to read books and complete the activities. Keep up the great work!

I feel so fortunate to have found your website and I have referred several of my co-workers to your website. Just for the month of January, there were three teachers displaying your book reports. I had the trophy reports, my neighbor to the left had the computer reports, and my neighbor to the right had the birthday cake reports. Thank you so very much for all of your work!

I'm writing to tell you that my students just finished the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory group projects. They worked so hard, and the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory projects turned out great! We had them to show for student led conferences. The parents were very impressed, and so were many of the other teachers and my principal. They all commented on my students' work and your creative templates. My students had so much fun doing these projects. I also used the multiplication pizza sticker charts. My students loved those as well!! Thank you so much for all of your amazing products.

I want to write and tell you that I love the resources that you make and share with us, they have truly been helpful to me and my students. I have been teaching grammar rules in a more exciting way, and I owe it all to you. Your grammar powerpoint lessons have been such a blessing! Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for letting me know about the new book report templates. I have been anxiously watching for the house book report project to be posted on your site, so I was excited to be able to purchase it today. It is absolutely adorable. I must tell you that I have received so many compliments from other teachers this year about my students' book reports that I have displayed in our school halls. Thank you again for all of your wonderful ideas....you make my life so much easier as a teacher!

My students are working on their Charlie and Chocolate Factory projects that I bought on your website. One of my students said how nice the other character wheels were and he said, "Besides this is just fun!" Not bad for a third grade boy!!

Simply stated, I LOVE YOUR BOOK REPORT SETS!!!!!!! I'm interested in purchasing them ALL!!!! I've been looking for something like this for quite some time. My students are so excited about reading this year, and it is all because of your fun projects!

I am in awe of what you have accomplished and created for those of us teaching in the public sector. Good for you for taking time off and self publishing. Your enthusiasm is contagious and your generosity is amazing. I recently provided a reading in-service for the K-5 staff at my school. I listed your website as a "must" to visit.
Thanks you for your expertise, creativity, and heartfelt enthusiasm. You are an inspiration to new and veteran teachers and a model for those of us who have not had the guts to go out on our own. You did it!!! I suggest that you go on the speaking circuit and share your knowledge and creativity at the International Reading Association Meetings and the State Reading Associations.
