Spring is in the air, and with it comes a season of growth, excitement, and—let’s be real—some much-needed energy boosts for educators everywhere! 🌷✨ March is packed with opportunities to engage students, celebrate history, and bring fresh ideas into the classroom. And guess what? We’ve got Smore templates to make it all effortless for you.

✅ Encourage attendance by making sure students are prepped and ready to learn
💡 Insider Tip: A quick “What we’re learning this week” blurb can do wonders for parent engagement. Bonus points if you throw in a fun fact that’ll get kids talking at dinner!
👩🎓 National Women’s History Month: Moving Forward Together
“What makes you different or weird, that’s your strength.” — Meryl Streep

🌱 Spring Has Sprung! (And So Have These Engaging Lessons)
Margaret Atwood said it best: “In spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.” This template embraces the season with hands-on learning about:
🐣 Baby animals & nesting birds (cue the adorable “awws”)
🐝 Why we need bees + citizen science projects
🌍 The vernal equinox & how spring is celebrated worldwide
💡 Bonus Idea: Teach the Iditarod! It’s a March tradition in Alaska and a great way to shake up those cabin-fevered kids.
🎉 Welcome Back from Spring Break!
After a well-earned break, students need a reset—and families need to know what’s coming up. Our Welcome Back template helps you:
📢 Announce important dates (testing windows, report cards, picture day!)
