I love it when the seasons change. As much as I enjoyed the summer, I am ready for a change in weather. In this theme we will learn about fall/autumn. There is so much to learn about during fall that I have broken it up into several different themes throughout the month. So, if you favorite fall themed activity is not featured this week (like leaf rubbings) it is probably because I am saving that activity for another week (like the tree theme for next week). Have fun and enjoy the weather change!
NOTE: Some of the activity links go straight to a pin on Pinterest instead of a blog page. Read the description of the pin for the activity instructions. If you are new here, make sure to check out the Themed Curriculum page for more details about how to use this curriculum. Looking for a different theme? Check out all of our themes here.
