St Patrick's Day Bulletin Board or Door Decoration - Shamrock Shout-Outs

Are you looking for a St. Patrick's Day Bulletin Board or Door Decoration that does double duty as a classroom relationship builder?

 For Valentine's Day, I created a door display, Reasons Why I Love My Class.  My students absolutely ate it up!  


This post contains affiliate links. I earn a small commission each time someone makes a purchase using one of my links, which helps to support the blog.  All opinions are my own and I only promote brands and products that I have used myself and truly love. 

I wanted to do a similar idea for March - this time to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.  Here is what I came up with:

I made a sign that said "Shamrock Shout Outs".  Then I printed a shamrock template on several pieces of card stock and cut them out.  I wrote various shout-outs for my class including:
Our reading stamina is improving.
Our behavior is improving.
We are so engaged in our Number the Stars Unit.


On March 1st, I hung up the Shamrock Shout Out sign and the first shamrock.  Each day I add a new Shamrock.






My students were racing to the door to read what the new shamrock said.  


I printed out all of my shamrocks ahead of time on colored card stock and will be hanging up a new one each day until St. Patrick's Day as a sort of countdown.  I am even letting my students add shout-outs to our door as well.








I have made a freebie for you just in case you wanted to try this project out with your own students. You can download it here.


You can start a few days late and add shamrocks as you go, or put up the whole display on St. Patrick's Day instead.

If you do decide to do this project, I would love to see pictures!  Please email me at kellys3ps@sbcglobal.net or tag me on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter!

    Thank you for this. I think I started using your monthly themed door ideas a couple years ago. They are such a quick and easy way to reinforce positive behavior with the added bonus of easily decorating our doors/backgrounds for us non-artistic types. ;) The kiddos are always looking to see what has been newly added to the door.
