Kick off the school year with confidence using the Month 1: All About Me Lesson Plan by Everyday Play N Learn! This engaging 21-page monthly curriculum guides 1st and 2nd graders through self-discovery, body systems science, domestic career appreciation, and essential home life skills.

Designed specifically for before-and-after school programming, this unit seamlessly blends daily self-awareness and anatomy activities with practical household responsibilities—from model lung bottle construction and "Glitter Germ" experiments to folding laundry and setting the dining table.

What's Inside:

• Week 1 (Me and My Health): Express feelings through charades and circle check-ins, trace group body outlines, conduct pepper and "Glitter Germ" handwashing experiments, draft safety signs, and sort "Eat the Rainbow" nutrition groups.

• Week 2 (Career Spotlight & Helpers at Home): Explore domestic roles (parents, babysitters, housekeepers, chefs), practice gentle doll care, run 5-minute "Tidy-Up Races," practice towel folding, and master basic table setting placemat layouts.

• Week 3 (Body Systems): Build toothpick skeleton structures, model clay bicep muscle contractions, construct water "Blood Flow" models, create balloon-and-bottle "Bottle Lungs," and compile comprehensive Body System Maps.

• Week 4 (Life Skills & Helpers at Home): Design personal cleanup checklists, practice t-shirt folding boards and laundry stacking games, practice placemat table settings, sort healthy kitchen choices, and rotate through "House Helper" pretend stations.
