All About Me! September Unit

September is here! School is back in session and it’s time to gear up for our first month of freeschool after the summer. 

This month I’m sharing intentional lesson plans as we explore the unit ‘All About Me!’ I’ve chosen 12 topics that fit into this theme. My plans are loose. Each week I’ve assigned three topics to cover and at least one accompanying activity to complete throughout the week. I’m all about flexibility and want this intentional time to fit into our life instead of running our life. There are days when my son is so excited to learn and others when all he wants to do is play. I want him to love learning and so while we can be flexible at home, I want to make room for that.  Every week the goal is to cover at least one activity for each of the three focus topics. If we do more, awesome.

All About Me Topics

• Name
• Body parts
• Family
• Height/self-measurements
• Finger prints 
• 5 senses
• Self-portrait 
• Emotions
• Favorites
• I can’s
• Pulse
• My home 

Together we will explore each of these topics through conversations, activities, and books. 

I likewise chose a verse for us to memorize and pray this month. As the unit focus is on learning about self, I think it’s important to put in perspective why we are special and unique.  We are who we are because God made us. Psalm 139:14 says, “I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”

Stay tuned for a glimpse into our month. I’ll be sharing set up, the activities, and the results for all that we do. My goal is to help you make the most of these fleeting years or months before your little one starts kindergarten. I’m designing everything to be recreatable for you at home with your littles. These activities do not require buying much of anything. Most of what I will use I have on hand or picked up at the Dollar Store. My hope is to save money and make memories that last.
