St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect time to infuse a bit of Irish magic into your 2nd grade classroom. Let’s consider three easy things you can do that will add a touch of fun into this special day.
Add Magical Decorations for St. Patrick's Day
Decorate the floors with magical leprechaun footprints. Using the side of their fist and green paint, you can stamp a trail of footprints around your classroom or at least near the hallway door. Just add toes using your pinky or an eraser on a pencil dipped in paint.
Another option would be to hang streamers in the doorway. Get just green or make a rainbow of colors for the students to walk through as they enter the classroom.
Option three would be to sprinkle a bit of green glitter over the students’ desks for an extra magical touch.
Use one or all three to create an enchanting atmosphere in your classroom
