A year of themes, by season

Checked October 30, 2026

52 theme weeks, grouped by season from the start of the school year: all about me and apples in the fall, bears and snow in winter, seeds and bugs in spring, the beach and boats in summer, and themes like colors, shapes and feelings that fit any month. Follow the order, or follow the weather and the children.

Why this order

Start with names and faces (all about me) while the room learns itself, then go where the children's eyes already are: what's outside the window, what's on the snack table, what the weather is doing. Keep the any-time themes for the weeks the weather won't cooperate.

The month pages list each month's themes, and the planner keeps the last twelve weeks you planned.
