I’m so excited to bring you September ideas, activities, and freebies for the entire month! This will be a little showcase of all the products I LOVE using in a primary classroom during the month of September. You’ll see all things apples, community helpers, fall, and more! They will span ELA, Writing, Math, Social Studies, and Science! Plus, there are freebies included in this primary September resources showcase, too!!
ELA September Activities
- This product comes with five paired sets, which are ten passages. Each set comes with a nonfiction story and a fiction story, plus questions and comprehension work for both. There are also two sheets that work on comparing fiction and nonfiction stories. This packet is for August and September themes!
- My fall close reading pack comes with 14 weeks of fall Close Reading. Each week has four days of activities. There is a mini introduction to Close Reading at the beginning of the product, plus three general graphic organizers in case you want to supplement Asking Questions, Main Idea/Detail, and Fact-Finding.
- My Fall Readers Theater product includes 12 stories for Reader’s Theater. Reader’s Theater is a wonderful way for students to practice fluency and expression. It is always a great team-building activity for partners or groups of three!
Try Differentiated Reading September Activities
- There are ten fall topics in my differentiated fall passages pack. The ten fall topics are fall season, football, scarecrows, apples, leaves, community helpers, fire safety, pumpkins, bats, and turkeys!
- My fall leveled reader mini books come with three levels of reading for kindergarten, first, or second grade readers. Each leveled reader has questions for that book that are also leveled.

More September Activities to Fill Your Lessons With!
- My Fall Writing product is a fun interactive writing product that involves real photographs and narrative writing. Students will cut and paste their own sequence, then write about it. They will cut and paste the beginning, middle, and ending pictures, write about the beginning, middle, and end for a pre-write, then expand with their writing.
- In my on-the-go September packet, you’ll find 40 printables for quick and easy teaching. These 40 fall sheets revolve around September themes (apples and community helpers).
Science & Social Studies Resources:
- No September activities lessons are complete without teaching the apple life cycle! My Fall Life Cycles Activities Pack is for on-the-go teachers. There are passages, cut and paste pages, labeling pages, writing pages, vocabulary pages, and Fold and Go readers. It covers apples for September and pumpkins for October.

This is perfect for a quick introduction, quick review, or just interactive learning all about pumpkin and apple life cycles. All while having interactive fun and creating a great wall display for the kids and school to see.
