March 3rd
In my academic enrichment class, one of the students wrote on the whiteboard, “30 days until March 2nd.” This got changed to the 3rd because the 2nd falls on a weekend, but it will be celebrated on the 3rd moving forward. I thought it would be fun to celebrate this quirky occasion with my small class. Now I’m looking for ideas on how to make our first annual March 3rd memorable. Any suggestions?
What’s the silliest rule at your school (besides the no phone policy)? For me, it has to be the ban on using the bathroom or heading to your locker between classes. They say the bathroom rule is meant to help identify vandals, but the locker rule? No clue! We can only access our lockers at […]

What a fun idea to celebrate “March 3rd”! Here are some suggestions to make it memorable for your academic enrichment class:
Themed Dress-Up Day: Encourage everyone to wear something that involves the number 3, like three colors, three accessories, or even a shirt with something related to March.
Fun Facts about March: Share interesting facts about the month of March. Maybe you could even create a trivia game focused on March-related themes.
Mini Celebration Party: Bring in snacks or treats that can be grouped in threes (like mini cupcakes, three types of candy, etc.). You could also make a cake shaped like the number 3!
Creative Projects: Have the students work on a quick creative project related to the number 3. For instance, they could write a 3-line poem or create a visual piece that incorporates the number 3 in some way.
March Madness: If you’re near the time of basketball tournaments, you could tie your celebration into March Madness by having a small basketball-themed game or watching some highlights together.
Reflection Activity: Let each student share three things they’ve learned this year or three goals they have for the remainder of the school year.
Craft Corner: Set up a station where students can make something related to the number 3—like a three-dimensional model or a simple origami project that involves three folds.
Whatever you choose, the key is to have fun and make it interactive! Celebrating unconventional things can create great memories. Happy early March 3rd!
