I love sharing new and unique Holidays with Charlie which we can study in our Homeschool Classroom. Being March 1st, 2021 National Pig Day and Yellow Pig Day.
Now, I have no, clue what Yellow Pig Day might be but that is okay because Charlie can research it for Homeschool. In the meantime did you know I have always wanted a Pot Bellied Pig.
My step daughter Leslie does as well and she wants to name her Pig Bacon. Not only that but my adopted son Graham has his own Pot Bellied Pig. I think I should be able to babysit him. Don’t you?
Date When Celebrated: National Pig Day- always March 1st Yellow Pig Day – always July 17th
About Pig Days:
National Pig Day gives thanks to domesticated Pigs. Big, pot-bellied Pigs seen in zoos, are often the symbol of the day. Pigs are clever and intelligent animals and they have a high level of intelligence.
Pigs can be taught to do tricks which is why people keep Pigs as pets. Would you help give pigs the respect that they deserve on there day.
If your looking for something fun to do with your students on National Pig day is celebrated by Zoos. You may find these activities taking place at Zoos around the Country: Snort Offs, Pig Outs, and online Pig Chats.
Don’t miss celebrating this day.
Yellow Pig Day is a mathematician’s holiday celebrating yellow pigs, and the number 17. It’s always celebrated annually since the early 1960’s, on College Campuses, by mathematicians. If you were to visit a College campus, you might find a Yellow Pig Cake and Yellow Pig Carols.
Mathematician, may spend part of the day thinking and working in multiples of 17. While they do so, give a little thought to yellow pigs.
Another Pig Day? There is also references to “Pig Day” on January 17th. Just check out online calendars and on Ecard companies.
Color of the Day: pink, of course for Pig Day. Yellow, for Yellow Pig Day.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
