Monthly themes-each with mini-books, calendars, recipes, and activity pages-get kids excited about school while building skills in coloring, alphabet and numbers, reading, mazes, and more!

This book was designed specifically for early childhood students. It is divided into twelve months, each month containing themes and activities. The themes are an excellent way to discuss topics such as holidays, families, animals, friends, and seasons.

Each month contains a wide variety of activities that allow students to learn a variety of skills and academic basics. The alphabet, colors, numbers, writing, reading, and math activities presented develop skills that, if practiced, will give students an edge as they continue their schooling.

Each month offers the following:

• The Bear Coloring pages are the first page of each month. Coloring this bear can be a great way for the students to get excited about learning the months. They can even be turned into a "Bear Through the Year" book.
• Next is a Calendar page which can be used in several ways. In the first few months, add the numbers for the days and recite them with the children. Later, have the students trace the number and maybe even fill in the numbers themselves.
• The Learning Letters pages cover all the letters A-Z throughout the year and end with review pages.
• The Alphabet Recipe pages are a fun way to reinforce the letters learned that month.
• The Mini Book can also be used in multiple ways. They are fun books, covering one of the month's themes, that can be read to students or they can read themselves.
• The Mazes and Dot to Dot pages follow the themes of the month and can help students with eye/hand coordination.
• The Activity pages each month cover two themes. Some are teacher pages with directions for activities. Others are student pages that can be copied and used as worksheets.

The following are the themes for each month:

• September - School and Apples
• October - Halloween and Autumn
• November - Thanksgiving and Families
