March Read Aloud Recommendations!
Courtney from Ramona Recommends and I have decided to put our two libraries together {& she’s got a big one} to recommend some monthly-themed books!
Check back with us each month for our top picks for K-5 classrooms.
Yes, we are a little late to the March party, but we are here to give recommendations anyways!
I’m Irish, so I absolutely LOVE March when I can read my little kiddies Irish-themed books!
Check out some of our favorite read alouds…

Magic Tree House Fact Checker: Leprechauns & Irish Folklore
Raise your hand if you love Magic Tree House!? My 2nd graders were OBSESSED last year. Then I discovered FACT TRACKERS, the non-fiction version of Magic Tree House. Thank you thank you Mary Pop Osborne 🙂 We couldn’t be happier! In this fact checker, Jack and Annie learn all about leprechauns and Irish folk tales. There are facts, photos, illustrations, and fun tip bits all about Ireland.
Use for teaching: non-fiction, Ireland, different cultures, facts vs. opinion
