Lesson Plans - By Month

Harvest Celebration

Thankful for the Harvest-Talk about how much farmers help us by growing food for us to eat. Let the kids
cut pictures out of their favorite fruits and vegetables and make a collage.
2. Helping Others: This is also a good opportunity to show children how they can help others by collecting
food for a food pantry. Explain to the children that not everyone has enough food to share, so they can help
by bringing canned foods and other non-perishables.

Back to School

While heading back to school after a great summer is not a real “holiday,” it is a great reason to celebrate. Back
to school means that kids are growing up, heading off for new adventures and learning more. Having a back to
school party is a great idea, especially for kids that are going to school for the very first time or moving to a new
school. Throw a Back to School party for your kids and show them how fun school can be.

4th of July – Independence Day

Those living in the United States celebrate the Fourth of July to mark independence from Britain. We typically
celebrate this day by sharing the day with friends and family with a good meal and by watching a fireworks
show at dark.

Father’s Day

What Dads Do: Dads do a lot for the family. Take this time to talk to the children about what their dad does
for their family. Talk about how he works to support the family, takes the family on special vacations or
activities or how he coaches or just hang out with the kids.

Mother’s Day

1. Thank You Mom: This is a good time to talk about how much the kids appreciate their
mothers. Discuss with the children the kinds of things that they appreciative of about their
mothers such as caring for them when they are hurt, or sad.
