August 2024 Products

August means it’s time to go Back to School! You might have had a couple of weeks off to do all of those summer things, so now it is time to start planning and making the most of the month ahead. Let August be a month of exploration, discovery, and cultural enrichment. 

Travel to Europe and Switzerland with the students to mark the onset of August. Switzerland is a mountainous country located in the heart of Europe, famous for its watchmaking, delicious chocolates and stunning landscape. Use my “How to Draw” booklet to teach your students about iconic landmarks, architecture and wildlife. Since 1891, the Swiss have celebrated Swiss National Day on the 1st of August. The celebration marks the signing of the Federal Charter of 1291. Large celebrations are held at famous spots such as Rhine Falls, the most powerful waterfall in Europe. Cities, towns or even villages have special traditions for this day.  

Dinosaurs are amazing creatures and so popular that they are celebrated several times yearly. While International Dinosaur Day is celebrated on June 1st and Fossil Day on October 13th, August 2nd is Dinosaur Day. A project using a Fact Booklet about Dinosaurs will inspire your students to learn and explore even on warm summer’s day. There is a wide selection of stunning fiction and nonfiction books about dinosaurs, providing an enriching opportunity to dive deeper into the world of these ancient creatures. 

August Math and Literacy Centers with a cool watermelon theme are the perfect way to add some revision activities. Watermelons are a delicious fruit with roots traced back to  Ancient Egypt. Celebrate this fruit's historical significance and sweetness on National Watermelon Day on August 3rd.



Capture your students' imagination by exploring all the delicious things you can make from potatoes. Mark National Potato Day,  August 19th, with a discussion about the versatility of this little tuber, from hash browns, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes and potato chips. You can also make bread using potatoes and pancakes. Your students will love reading the fact booklet about how this vegetable even traveled to space. Is it not amazing that this tube not only has spread all over the globe but also was the first vegetable to be grown in space?



Wishing you a memorable end to your summer classroom adventures as you prepare for an exciting new year ahead.
