If you’re studying St. Patrick’s Day this season, this simple list of St. Patrick’s Day vocabulary words is an easy way to add spelling, writing, and word work to your homeschool day. Keep it nearby for copywork, journaling, or quick writing prompts — just print and go.
Even though our family is Scotch-Irish on one side, we do not officially celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. We do, however, give it a hearty mention and spend a bit of time on it after our Bible time on March 17th! It is nice to have a change of pace and enjoy the themes of the season. I have found that remains important even as my children have gotten older, however, it looks a bit different.
