A Choice Board For St. Patrick's Day! You Can Find Two Different Choices Here, Friends.

          

It's time for one of my favorite holidays, St. Patrick's Day.  This one will join other special events in March including Women's History Month, Read Across America, National Crayon Day and the beginning of spring. 

As I put together resources for these special days, I wanted to share the choice board for St. Patrick's Day. 
The one above includes the PebbleGo article about St. Patrick's Day. If you would like to make edits, you will find the link here.

I also put together one without PebbleGo. Your students can use this link and if you want to make changes you can make a copy here

The March Choice Board includes the St. Patrick's Day Choice Board. You will find it here, friends.

And mark your calendar for next years Digital Learning Day on February 16, 2024. 

Digital Learning Day is always one of our favorite days and gives us so much inspiration to celebrate digital learning all throughout the year. 

A FUN and Helpful Way To Share Our Digital BreakoutEDU Games Each Month....You Can Use This Template For Your March 2024 Digital Breakouts Too!

Our kids love doing digital BreakoutEDU games!  They enjoy all of the different subject focused, seasonal and fun games that get them thinking, collaborating and engaging with classmates in their classrooms and with those at home learning virtually. 

While talking with one of our teachers last year, we thought it would be fun and helpful to put a few of the digital BreakoutEDU games together each month that our students could play anytime, at school or at home.  

I instantly thought to myself, This would be a great use of a choice board! 

I just create a template each month that would hold 9 of the digital BreakoutEDU games. I make sure to include all of the different grade levels. 
I take a screen shot of the digital Breakout game, add it to the template and add the grade level in a box over the top. 
To share the choice board, I clicked on Publish to the web under Share.  That created a link that I shared with our teachers to add to their Google Classrooms or Seesaw and I add it to each grade level Symbaloo.

I also downloaded each game key and sent those to the teachers with that email so they will have easy access to be able to help the students with each months BreakoutEDU games in the choice board. 

You will find the March Digital BreakoutEDU to make a copy and add your own links here.

I can't wait to see what the kids think of our new Monthly BreakoutEDU Choice Board. I know they will be excited to see the NEW ones each month too!
