March is a month of madness, basketball madness, unpredictable weather, and a calendar packed with quirky celebrations! But how well do you actually know March?
I’ll be honest, March has always been a fun yet chaotic time in my classroom. One day, we’re diving into Women’s History Month projects, and the next, we’re balancing eggs to see if the Spring Equinox magic is real (spoiler: it totally works if you have patience!). And let’s not forget Pi Day, where my students are conveniently more excited about eating pie than solving math problems.
This is the month when college basketball turns into a frenzy of upsets, rivers run green in honor of a saint, and math lovers geek out over 3.14. It’s also a time to celebrate history, science, sports, and some delightfully odd holidays. Clearly, March isn’t just another month, it’s a whole experience.
