I begin to put together our Lesson Plans/ Unit Studies to teach in September I thought you might be wondering what happened then as well. Take a look at the list and leave me a comment and let me know what you will be teaching.
September 1 – World War II Begins (1939)
On this day in 1939, the entire world’s attention was focused on Europe, when Germany invaded Poland. This sparked the beginning of the deadliest war in history, causing France and Britain to declare war on Germany. There is so much to discuss in our World War II Unit.
September 6 – Pilgrims Leave for the New World (1620)
Before we could celebrate Thanksgiving, the Puritans had to leave their homes in England, for a new world, exactly 400 years ago today. Use the Colonial America Unit to teach this subject.
September 7 – Brazilian Independence Day
In 1822, Brazil declared their independence from Portugal. Students can explore and learn what they can do to help protect this natural resource in our Rain Forests Unit.
September 9 – National Teddy Bear Day
In our Teddy Roosevelt Unit, your students can learn all about this larger-than-life American icon.
September 12 – President Kennedy’s “We choose to go to the Moon” Speech (1962)
Combining our units on John F. Kennedy and Space is a great cross-curricular example that your students are sure to enjoy!
September 17 – Constitution Day
Constitution Unit, we take your kids through the entire process, from the Constitutional Convention to more recent amendments. With the 2020 election coming this November, it’s a great opportunity to introduce how the United States government operates, which you can also find in our How American Works Unit.
September 22 – Fall Equinox
You may be really looking forward to the Fall Equinox, the first official day of Autumn. In one of our newest units, The Northeast, your students can learn about the history of our country’s smallest region and what makes it so special!
September 29 – World Heart Day
World Heart Federation wants to increase public awareness of cardiovascular diseases and how to prevent them. Check out Unit about the Heart, specifically How the Heart Works.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
