August Themes

July 27, 2020 By Jennifer Lambert Leave a Comment

August is the end of summer and usually back to school time for many of us.

Are you New to Homeschooling?

When my kids were very small, we had monthly themes on our bulletin board, for our homeschool lessons, and to order our daily lives.

As the kids get older, the themes aren’t quite so vivid. I enjoy the liturgical calendar, the natural cycles of the world, and celebrating the flow and small events in our lives.

We loved these themed Calendar Connections.

Fun Stuff: National Days

We love reading about Catholic saints and Celtic Saints and sometimes do spiritual activities. And we also talk about how white saviors and missionaries weren’t the best for indigenous peoples.

Celebrating Lammastide is a great goodbye to summer and welcome to fall.

August is a great month to purge old clothes and toys, minimize, organize for fall.

Here’s a neat list of what is on sale .

Second Saturday in August is National Bowling Day and National Garage Sale Day 

  • Yard Sale Tips
  • Online Yard Sale Tips
  • 5 Tips for Buying Kids Clothes
  • Organizing Recipes

A fun back to school unit.

8th: National Sneak Some Zucchini Into Your Neighbor’s Porch Day!

9th: Book Lover Day (Isn’t that every single day?)

28th: Red Wine Day

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day on August 28th sets aside a day to remember the pet companions we’ve lost. We’re a cat family.

On August 30, National Grief Awareness Day recognizes the time it takes to heal from loss doesn’t have a prescribed course and is a reminder closure comes in many forms. When a loved one dies, the void they leave affects everyone differently.

History: Racial Injustice Calendar and The Zinn Education Project.

What’s your favorite activity in August?
