Do California schools still do stuff St. Patrick’s Day? I don’t think Texas schools really do anymore, I know there’s no party. There might be some special learning activities.
California schools don’t do anything, but Massachusetts schools used to.
In kindergarten, the teacher had teams of kids build a leprechaun trap and it was a ton of fun plus STEM and teamwork!
There are so many great projects here. I love the idea of teaching and learning through play. Happy Thursday!
