Can anyone tell me what today is? Well today boys and girls we are
going to learn about Irish cultures and St. Patricks day, since today is
March 17 . Now we are going to watch a short clip on some fun facts
about St. Patricks day. The Irish celebrate St. Patrick's Day as a
religious holiday since the island's conversion to Christianity in the early
Middle Ages. The first St. Patrick's Day parade in the US, New York City
took place on March 17, 1762, giving the Irish soldiers serving in the
English military the opportunity to reconnect to their roots. Today, St.
Patrick's Day is celebrated by people of varied backgrounds around the
globe.
(After the students watch the short clip we will read a quick summary all
about St. Patricks day. In this summary it will talk about how the
American culture celebrate St. Patricks day vs. Irish culture.)

During this time the students will watch a quick video all
about St. Patricks day, if the technology is not working
during this time I will have a print out so I can read and
express the information to the students. I will introduce new
vocabulary during this time so students can be aware of these
words during the video/ or reading.
In the video the author is talking about the celebration of
March 17 each year and the importance behind this holiday.
St. Patricks day is an Irish holiday but is now celebrated
worldwide. It is known as feast day of the Irish Patron Saint
Patrick. Here in America people celebrate this holiday by
wearing green. This video goes beyond the green and shows
that its important to include the Irish culture behind the
holiday.

Reflection of Lesson:
Overall I believe this lesson went very well. My social studies lesson was the
first lesson I taught and the topic of St. Patricks day was an interesting
lesson that was also intriguing to the students. With help of your many
classroom management strategies, I didnt have any issues with the behavior
of students, actually the teacher told me most of the students who shared
aloud were students who never share or are usually uninterested in learning
in general. The students listened quietly and were engaged during a short
clip all about St. Patricks day, after the video the students were able to
share a few things they learned. I found It important to get this information
from the students because they love to share their input, and you can also
learn if the resource was effective for their learning. Their short stories and
poems they wrote turned out really fun and a cute way to share with the
class. The ended this lesson with an Irish gig they had learned the day before
in music class.
