By Inspired By MlG
Struggling to engage young learners? Look no further than St. Patrick's Day! This festive holiday isn't just about shamrocks and leprechauns; it's a treasure trove for building essential language skills like rhyming. Here's why incorporating St. Patrick's Day rhymes into your lesson plan is pure gold:

Activities Galore! Rhyming goes beyond worksheets! Incorporate St. Patrick's Day rhymes into various activities to solidify learning. Here are some ideas:
The Final Rainbow: With St. Patrick's Day rhymes, students gain fluency, build phonemic awareness, and solidify literacy skills in a fun and engaging way. It's the perfect springboard to set them on a path of reading and writing success!

HATCHET Novel STEM | STEAM Building Challenge Task Cards with Sequencing
By Teaching Dinos
Kids will LOVE these independent Hatchet STEM / STEAM Building Challenge Task Cards based on book Hatchet, by Gary Paulson. Pair these problem solving cards with the no-prep STEAM / STEM or sequencing worksheets, include them in your Makerspace, morning tubs, centers, as a reward, or as an activity for early finishers. Perfect for classrooms, homeschool, and even parents looking for fun, adventure filled activities for their children.
What’s included in the 22 page download:
How can you use these task cards?
How can you use these task cards?
⭐Build all the task cards in one sitting. This typically takes 1 – 2 hours to complete the set.
⭐Have the task cards available in makerspaces, centers, tubs, busy boxes, morning baskets, or available for early finishers to complete using any available materials. Students can even draw their creations instead of building them.
⭐Use one card a day during morning time. Have students fill out a STEAM / STEM worksheet with some of the challenges that require more problem solving and creativity.
⭐Practice sequencing by having students do several cards at a time, and then draw pictures of what they built (or the scenarios on the task cards) in the sequencing boxes.
⭐Use them for public speaking practice. Allow students to build as many cards as predetermined, and then show and tell with the class or their parents. They can discuss what they made, liked, what they would improve, and how it solved the problem on the task cards. They can practice speaking and listening skills, using loud and clear voices, and giving full attention to the speaker. Encourage students to ask questions to their classmates.
Why do I think you will love this product, and what makes my challenge set unique?
I love stories that bring adventure to life for kids, which force them to use their imaginations in fun and exciting ways. This challenge task set does exactly that through the loose storyline. Interesting scenarios, adventure and disaster, problem solving and learning, are all part of the experience when building these challenges.
Most building challenge task cards are independent from each other. “Build a boat,” or “build an airplane,” are common themes among the cards. While those are fantastic, and we have done many of them ourselves, I wanted to do something different and more cohesive and engaging for kids.
One of the exciting things about this set, is the randomness that occurs with each card. I strongly suggest that children pick only one card (waiting for other children participating to finish each card before moving on), and not previewing what is on the other cards prior to building. Try folding them up and placing into a hat, bowl, or basket to be picked one at a time, as order is not necessary in this set.
The only rule is to HAVE FUN and allow those imaginations to soar!
**Please note that while the intent is for these to be independent, early readers may need some assistance in reading the cards.**
