St Patrick’s Day Activities- St. Patrick’s Day Project Based Learning
Project based learning is my jam! When you can incorporate interdisciplinary learning and boost student engagement through the roof, my teacher heart just signs! You can learn all about Project Based Learning in my blog post, just click THIS LINK. I have found that project based learning is excellent to implement around holidays and before school breaks. During these times students are overflowing with energy and need a hands on, deep thinking project to keep them engaged and attending to their learning. This is exactly why I designed a St. Patrick’s Day Project Based Learning unit all about leprechauns! In this St Patrick’s Day activity pack, students are tasked with designing and building a leprechaun village. The St Patrick’s Day worksheets inside this unit guide students through their building and planning process, helping them stick to their budget as well as area restraints. These St Patrick’s Day worksheets also include math about their leprechaun village and writing prompts too. Trust me, your students will feel so lucky to participate in a St Patrick’s Day activity like this one. If you want to explore my St. Patrick’s Day Project Based Learning Unit, click THIS LINK now.
