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?
How can I stay awake in class? I often find myself dozing off, and once I hit the 20-minute mark, it’s hard to stay alert. I usually stay awake by fidgeting or writing, but many teachers don’t permit that. Any advice?
The boys in my class are just bizarre. I think they’re experiencing puberty or something because they’re constantly making 18+ jokes and even joking around with our male math teacher. Seriously, it’s not even funny. :/
How to Boost My Energy Hey everyone! I’m a freshman in high school taking an AP class and also dancing five days a week, plus practicing at home. With all of that and homework piling up, I’ve been feeling utterly exhausted. Even on nights when I get a decent amount of sleep, I still find […]
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!
