9/2 Observed
on the first Monday in September, Labor Day is a Federal Holiday in the U.S.
celebrating the achievements of the American Workers.
9/5 While
the origins of Cheese Pizza Day are unclear, this simple food is
easy to make with very few ingredients! An easy day to celebrate, all you do is
indulge with your favorite cheese pizza.
9/12 The
milkshake has been around since the late 19th century and was
originally made as an alcoholic beverage! Today’s modern milkshake is a sweet,
non-alcoholic beverage made with milk and ice cream. Today, on Chocolate Milkshake Day, make your milkshake chocolate, it’s easy to do!
9/16 Play-Doh was originally manufactured as a
wallpaper cleaner in the 1930’s. The product was reworked in the 1950’s as a
product for children! In 2003, Play-Doh was placed on the Toy Associations
“Century of Toys” list.
9/21 National Cleanup Day is held in conjunction with World Cleanup Day. Let’s work
together keeping the earth clean and have some fun getting rid of litter in the
parks and streets.
9/24 It’s National Cherries Jubilee Day! Cherries Jubilee is a dessert whose
sauce is made of cherries, a warmed liquor and is served over vanilla ice cream
then you flambé it (set it on fire!) Have you ever had a cherries jubilee?
9/26 On National Johnny Appleseed Day, we
honor the man who made apple (and pear) trees grow heavy with the
bounty of their fruit across most of this country. On September 26, we
commemorate the day of his birth and celebrate his legendary wit, wisdom and
enduring story.

Bring out the inner chef and artist in
your child. Try your hand at these recipes and crafts with your children!
9/3 Celebrate Labor Day
while educating your children about the contributions of workers all over the
country. Create these “Thank You” cards and deliver them to local facilities.
9/5 Love cheese pizza? Ever make it at
home? This easy recipe
calls for English muffins, sauce and cheese! Your child(ren) can make it and
you can bake it!
9/12 In the lazy hazy days of summer,
there is nothing better in my opinion then a good old-fashioned chocolate
milkshake, especially on chocolate milkshake day! This recipe
is simple, delicious and includes a few variations in flavors!
9/16 According to the Play-Doh
website, if you made a ball out of all the
Play-Doh ever created, it would weigh more then 700 million pounds! For a
rainy-day activity, use this recipe to make your own Play-Doh!
9/21 You can have fun and clean up
litter at the same time! What would happen if everyone picked up one piece of
litter on National Cleanup Day? Head over to https://www.nationalcleanupday.org/ and find out.
9/24 Cherries Jubilee is delicious and
easy to make, but the whole flambé thing makes it a little dangerous and scary
for some kids, but this Cherries Jubilee cookie recipe looks scrumptious! (If you make
them, feel free to share!)
9/26 Looking for a
unique treat to celebrate Johnny
Appleseed Day? What about Apple Sugar
Cookies? This recipe looks creative and tasty!
Please take pictures of your activities and
share them with your classrooms! We would love to see what you create!!
