Preschool Education & Everything Preschool

September is rapidly coming to a close but that doesn’t mean that it’s too late to incorporate some great September themes into your preschool lesson plans. September is a fun month because it’s all about going back to school, meeting new people and getting ready for the holidays ahead. That makes September a terrific month for transitional themes that allow you to really explore some creative lessons. You can begin teaching fall themes during the month of September but you can also use themes that aren’t related to any particular season so it’s still an in-between kind of month.

Fall is an exciting time of year for preschoolers. School starts up again which is exciting itself. Plus, there are changes in the seasons which gets everyone a little bit excited. That excitement comes from knowing that fall is filled with lots of fun holidays and activities. And of course it means that the winter holidays are just around the corner so everyone’s fall months are filled with that great anticipation. To make the most of these months with your preschooler(s), you should incorporate a number of different fall themes into your lesson plans.

Here are some great ideas for preschool fall themes that you might want to use this year (and for many more fall seasons to come):

To my Preschool Education viewers please bear with me as I post about something that couldn’t be further from Preschool Education. I have been included in a Meme having to do with Search Engine Optimization which is a passion of mine. I promise, my wonderful Preschool Education viewers, my next post will be totally for you.

Donna at SEO-Scoop had started a meme about Feed-worthy SEO Blogs that she wouldn’t have discovered if it wasn’t for Sphinn. Sphinn is a Social Networking site dedicated to SEO, SEM, Social Media, and Technology. It is quite new…. it came online this summer and it should be coming out of Beta shortly.

Thanks to Tadeusz at SEO2.0 for including me on his list of Sphinn Stars. I was included with others who I admire and it was quite an honor to be mentioned.

Wow, I had no idea how difficult this task would be. Don’t get me wrong, I am thrilled to be on Tad’s List. It is such an honor to be on the list with so many talented and well deserving Sphinners. The task is difficult for me because I admire the entire Community at Sphinn. My reader is chuck-full of SEO feed-worthy Blogs because of Sphinn, so to narrow it down to three is extremely difficult.

So, to be able to narrow my SEO feed-worthy Blogs down to 3 I am adding another criteria to my meme…. These are the SEO feed-worthy Blogs run by amazing Bloggers that took a few minutes out of their crazy, busy lives to affect me in one way or another. There were more than three, but these are the first three that come to mind:

• Tanner - Internet Hunger was the first feed that I subscribed to that I discovered on Sphinn. I read Tanner’s Blog daily… He is extremely talented and I love the way he writes. One of Tanner’s posts was the first of my Sphinn posts that went hot. Tanner emailed me right away to thank me for it. I was so impressed by this gesture. It reminded me that even though our type of business is mostly virtual that manners still apply. I was even included on Internet Hunger’s Mover’s and Shaker’s of Search Engine Optimization post.
  
  
• Patrick Sexton – Patrick is brilliant and extremely funny. I discovered his Blog, SEOish, through Sphinn and was truly, truly impressed. His Hitchhikers Guide to Linkless SEO post, that I was honored to Sphinn, is my highest rating on sphinn ever. But what touched my heart about Patrick was our discussion about the many young children who yearn for more education in their life, but struggle to get it. Patrick moved me so much that I donated more than 20 of my ABC Home Preschool products to young children in need throughout Pennsylvania.
  
  
• Todd Mintz - Todd Blogs for SEMpdx. I discovered Todd pretty quickly at Sphinn. He has tons of knowledge in Domaining which I was always fascinated in. He was more than helpful with many questions I had about what direction I could go with the Domains I owned…. Should I make a website or Park them? He was quick to offer me suggestions and I truly appreciated that. Plus, a few days ago Todd asked me if I was willing to be Interviewed for a Post he’s doing. (Since I didn’t ask Todd if it was Okay to mention it I can’t say anything more at this point). I was thrilled to be asked and I have agreed to the Interview.

There are so many other Sphinn Discoveries that I want to mention, but I’m limited to three. So, unfortunately, I can’t mention the many others on my mind… such as, Lyndon, Chris Winfield, DoshDosh, ViperChill, SearchBuzz, Tamar, ………………. And of course Danny Sullivan. For, if it wasn’t for Danny there would be no Sphinn at all. Thanks, Danny.

Now for the three Sphinners I mentioned it is now your opportunity to do the same. Share your Sphinn Love. Who are your SEO feed-worthy Blogs that you discovered through Sphinn.

Are you homeschooling your preschooler? Or perhaps your child simply isn’t challenged enough in her preschool class and you’d like to make your own lesson plans to supplement what’s being learned at school? Whatever the case, making your own preschool lesson plans can be a great way to give your child an education that incorporates all of the things that it’s important to you that she learns. It can sound a little intimidating at first. After all, you aren’t a teacher so how would you know how to make your own preschool lesson plans, right? But making your own lesson plans really isn’t that difficult at all.
