Okay, y’all. Left, right. Left, right. Let’s march into March! We’ll arrive one day early, but that’s okay. I’m ready for a new month—aren’t you? So what’s on your school calendar for March? Are you planning a nutrition unit? Squeezing in a wee bit of Irish blarney? Planning to investigate rainbows and other weather-related elements? Maybe you’re looking forward to spring break too?
Please share!
Smiles,

In March I work with the themes Favorite Stories, Lephrechauns, and Under the Sea. I throw in a Wild Things Party with PJs and pizza making and a beach day. It breaks up a lot of the March Blahs.
Next week is Texas Public Schools Week! We will study all things Texas. 🙂
When we return from Spring Break, our themes will be Spring and Weather.
One of my favorite center activities for weather is to go to the local hardware or furniture store and get the biggest box I can find. I cut it & design it to look like a big-screen t.v. I put it in my Pretend & Learn Center, and the students pretend to give the weather report. It’s so fun to watch them! 😉
In March I use the themes Wind, Spring, Rainbows and Leprechauns. I am from Virginia now in Florida so my favorite is Spring because I miss all the flowers and changes.
We celebrate Dr. Seuss with Green Eggs and Ham and St Patrick’s day with rainbows and hunting gold. In between we have a unit on dinosaurs and end with spring and planting a garden.
March is so much tamer than February!
We’ll celebrate Dr. Seuss Day, kites, lions and lambs which tie in with our Bible lessons as well. We have Young Author’s Day at our school, so we’ll do a writing project that relates to our guest author/speaker. My favorite is St. Patrick’s Day – those naughty leprechauns always turn my students’ desks with the openings together so the kids can’t get their workboxes, and we usually surprise the leprechauns, scare them away, and gather all the pennies, green and gold coins that they dropped in their hasty escape. March is also a time to begin those seed growing projects.
