St. Patrick's Day
I miss teaching 3rd and 4th graders when St. Patrick's Day comes around. One fun thing I did was use temper paint on the bottom of a toddler's tennis shoe and stamp the overturned desks, walls and chalkboard. Then I would leave a message on the chalkboard written backwards from the rowdy leprechauns. The students would at first accuse me of playing the trick, but when they saw the paint on the walls and chalkboard, they would say, "Oh no the teacher would never do that."
Oh, what a clever idea!!
ReplyDeleteWhat dishonesty to fool little kids!!!!I taught middle school and played the same games . The kids liked it just the way yours did. Kids would appreciate what you did for them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea! Love your St. Patrick's model!
ReplyDeleteI love that idea, I will have to pass it along to my teaching friends. Not sure how I stumbled on your blog but am enjoying it immensely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative teacher, the ones we remember most when we grow up. Thank you for following my blog.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Teachers like you are the BEST!
