Fun Facts About September
Did you know that the name September comes from the Latin word for seven?
September is now the ninth month of the year, but it was originally the seventh month of the ancient Roman calendar. The old Roman calendar began in March, which explains how September received its name.
September is also an exciting month for many children because it marks the beginning of a new school year and the gradual change from summer to autumn.
