Not only is St. Patrick's Day an Irish holiday it is also a day of fun, family and friends. After you have your share of corn beef and cabbage come on over to Detroit. In the city of Detroit, there is a large array of Irish bars that you can go to on St. Patrick's Day to celebrate. Here are four of the best bars in Detroit to have a green beer, spend time with friends and celebrate St. Patrick's Day

St Patrick is revered in Irish culture. His burial site is visited by thousands every year. Down Cathedral is the favored site, it is in Down-Patrick 33 km south of Belfast. His reputed grave is marked by a flat granite stone inscribed with ‘PATRIC’. His burial is the subject of Irish folk songs such as; “In Down, three Saints one grave do fill, Patrick, Brigid and Columcille.”

Learning and fun should go hand in hand! Children love to apply their learning to something they relate to, something enjoyable, something that will stick long after the lessons are done. Why not connect a holiday which comes every year to everyday learning objectives? Since I enjoy holidays, I like to create lesson plans related to them! These social studies suggestions are ones I thought would be exciting during March, near Saint Patrick's Day! They focus around Ireland, Ireland's history, people, culture, geography, flag, and map skills.
