September Preschool Theme

"All About Me" is a popular September preschool theme and I decided to go with it as well because I love all that can be discussed within this topic! I threw in Grandparent's Day because I thought it was perfect to go with this theme since we'll be talking about families, and I also added a Mexican Independence Day project because a) one more thing to celebrate, b) I'll be adding in Spanish printables/books/flashcards every month since I want my boys to be bilingual!

Check out my post for free preschool planning printables as well as our entire 12 months of themes.

In my printables you'll find a sheet that has 12 developmental focus areas. After planning our monthly theme and activities, I went through the focus areas to make sure I covered each one at least once. That's why you'll see random things like "help Mommy clean..." that may not seem to necessarily tie in with our theme but housekeeping is a developmental focus so I added it in there.


Theme: "All About Me" - my five senses, my body, my family, all about me

Things to explore: healthy food, appropriate touch (normally this would be a place to visit or a field trip, the science museum would be a good place to visit for this theme).

Celebrate: Grandparent's Day, Mexican Independence Day

Numbers: 1, 2

Letters: G (grandparents), X (x-ray)

    What a fun and comprehensive month.

    I think too much curriculum can be overwhelming. Plus this is a nice pace to ease yourselves into the learning environment. You'll see as you go along, how learning can be incorporated into so much of your day (and you may even realize just how much you were doing already)!

    I'm very excited to observe your homeschool journey Jessica.
    xoxo

      Yesss, that's what's I'm hoping! That this will help us ease into a learning environment. I'm already seeing how so much learning happens constantly once you're thinking about it and have a subject you're covering! I love it. Thanks for commenting Jennifer!! Xo
