We love celebrating St. Patrick’s Day with our Students! Creative Lessons for St. Patrick’s Day are presented by teachers that include shamrocks, rainbows, pots of gold, and leprechauns. We teach the history of St. Patrick’s Day, some St. Patrick’s Day trivia, and invite our students to wear green for the day. Having fun with this holiday allows us to do something different. We can bring cupcakes with green icing, and encourage the students to decorate our classrooms with shamrock-themed math, science, social studies, or language arts concepts.
Interesting trivia to share with your students:
*Irish immigrants brought the holiday to the United States and celebrated with parades and parties.
*The first St. Patrick’s Day parade in the United States was held in Boston in 1737.
* The city of Chicago has been turning its river green on St. Patrick’s Day since 1962.
*Blue was the color originally associated with St. Patrick.
*Wearing green colors on St. Patrick’s Day is called “wearing of the green”.
*The shamrock is the Irish national plant.
