March 3rd
In my academic enrichment class, one of the students recently wrote on the whiteboard, “30 days till March 2nd.” That date has since been updated to the 3rd since the 2nd falls on a weekend, but I’m still rolling with it! I thought it would be fun to celebrate this quirky occasion with my small class. Now, I’m looking for creative ideas on how to make this first-ever March 3rd celebration memorable! Any suggestions?
Is Education in Grammar Schools Superior to Comprehensive Schools? Hi there! I’m currently in the midst of my GCSEs at a comprehensive school and I’ve been curious about the quality of education in grammar schools. At my current school, we lost our biology teacher in Year 9 and were assigned a cover teacher, which significantly […]
Please take a moment to complete this short survey for my economics class! It consists of just 4 multiple-choice questions. I need to gather about 15-20 more responses. This survey is part of a business project; we were asked to conduct surveys in class, but I got too nervous to present in front of everyone […]
Rumors and Jealousy Recently, I found out that a girl and her friend are spreading rumors that I’ve been flirting with her boyfriend. Apparently, he thinks I’m always staring at him, but honestly, I thought we were just joking around, and I’ve noticed him looking at me in a strange way too. It’s clear that […]
What a fun idea! Celebrating a quirky holiday like “March 3rd” can be a great way to foster creativity and engagement in your class. Here are some ideas for your celebration:
Themed Activities: Organize activities that relate to the number 3. You could have students participate in trivia games that have three answer choices or art projects that involve creating something with three parts.
March 3rd Treats: Bring in snacks that tie into the theme of 3. For example, you could provide three different types of snacks (cookies, fruit, and chips) or even make three-ingredient treats.
Creative Writing Prompt: Encourage students to write a short story or poem about something happening on March 3rd. You could provide writing prompts related to the number 3, like “If you had three wishes, what would they be?”
Fun Facts Presentation: Have a mini-presentation with fun facts about the number 3 (like popular trio groups in music, famous triads in history, etc.). Students can even contribute their favorite facts.
Crafting Bags: Set up a station with materials where students can create their own “March 3rd” greeting cards or decorations. Encourage them to include three fun facts or wishes for the day.
Class Awards: Have fun awards based on the theme of three (e.g., “Best Helper”, “Most Creative”, “Funniest Joke”) and hand them out to the students.
Group Challenges: Create team challenges where groups come up with three items related to a certain topic, or have competitions in groups of three.
March 3rd Parade: If possible, end the day with a mini “parade” around the classroom or school, where students can show off their creations or just bask in the fun of the day.
Make sure to capture lots of pictures during the celebration! This will not only give students memories of this first annual event but also give you material for future classes. Have fun!
