St. Patrick's Day Printed Books

Is this a Full Unit or Mini Unit? St. Patrick's Day is a Mini Unit. Our Mini Units are often shorter in length or in output and while they do have crossover into multiple subjects, they are more focused and intentional on the topic of the unit. They also tend to be more hands-on with less written output. In contrast, Full Units are 20 lessons long and designed to take 4-6 weeks to complete. The Student Notebooks from Early Reader and up have 5 pages per day and are designed to cover all your subjects other than math. Some families alternate Full Units with Mini Units while others do them alongside one another. 

What is this unit about? Have you ever wanted to learn about the real story behind St. Patrick's Day? Who was the man and how did the holiday come to be? Where did all the symbolism come from and what does it represent? Our brand new holiday mini unit is going to answer all your questions and more! Come learn more about Ireland and its history and geography. Read a story of intrigue and adventure as you discover the power of forgiveness and a life wholly devoted to God. 

This 3-day special holiday mini unit is the perfect size for you to either add on to your regular school or do as a detour from your normal schedule. Unlike our other mini units, there are no student books for this unit, only lapbook kits/cutouts. And for the first time ever, the lapbook is built right into the teaching! As you read, you will be prompted to stop and assemble a lapbook element to help reinforce the learning that is happening. 

The lapbook is available in two levels. Simply choose your level and go! Level 1 is full watercolor, simple cut and paste, with all the information there, making it a good fit for younger students or any reluctant writers or if you don't want to do something heavy. Level 2 is recommended for Upper Elementary (11+) or for kids that want more of a challenge or don't mind writing. It has lines for you to fill out the information and show what you learned.

What's included with this purchase? This listing includes the physical, printed, and shipped format for our St. Patrick's Day Mini Unit. You will receive the hard copy Teacher's Guide, the Lapbook cutouts in your choice of Level 1 OR Level 2, as well as the Lapbook folder with brass fastener. You will need one Lapbook Cutout pack per student. If you need to purchase more cutout packs, they are available in DIGITAL or HARD COPY.

How long is it designed to last?  This unit is designed to last 1 week. You're in control! Set a schedule that works best for your family and your pace will dictate how quickly you complete any given unit.
