I can’t believe it’s March already. Wasn’t it just New Year’s? March is a great month, though, and I’m looking forward to all the fun things that it brings.
Did you know that March is National Reading Month, Small Press Month, and Read an e-Book Month? There are also tons of writing/reading holidays in March. I found the following list at The Retired School Librarian: (Be sure to check the site out for more fun holidays each month to celebrate with your kids, your class, your readers, or all of the above. )
- 01 – International Hug a Librarian Day (You may want to ask first. 😆)
- 02 – Read Across America Day; Dr. Seuss’s Bithday
- 04 – National Grammar Day
- 03-09 – Read an E-book Week; Return Borrowed Books Week
- 16 – National Freedom of Information Day
- 19–International Read to Me Day
- 17-23–World Folktales and Fables Week
- 20 – World Storytelling Day; Bibliomania Day
- 21 – World Poetry Day
- 30 – National Pencil Day
I’m a few books ahead of schedule for my reading goal. There’s so much to read and I’ve made it a priority to rate and review each book I complete this year.
Also, don’t forget the 17th is St. Patrick’s Day! We always have so much fun learning about our Irish heritage. We’ve traced all the way back to my 15th great-grandfather on one side and he was born in Ireland. Years later, my 11th great-grandfather came to America.
We read lots of Irish books, take virtual field trips, and set leprechaun traps. I’m sure we’ll catch him this year. 😉
This is a homeschool thing for us, but also a fun family thing.
I will try and post some of the shenanigans here later this month, so check back for ideas of fun things to do with the littles. 🍀
If you follow me on social media, you’ll know I’ve taken a step back from it for a while. Our family has a lot going on, so I’m focusing on some things that need my immediate attention. I am still managing and posting to my blogs, though. Be sure to stop by and say hello once in a while!
You can find lots of great articles from my colleagues and me on Mississippi Folklore and Pikes Peak Writers’ Writing from the Peak. I hope you’ll give us a follow. 🙂
I’ll be announcing a new blog soon. Stay tuned!
Hang in there and keep lookin’ up.
God Bless,
