It seems like I have posted about all my favorite September projects before. My class is particularly amusing this year but their antics aren't really helpful unless you just need a laugh.
Here's a Sight Word Game I whipped together to add something different to the introduction of the sight words me, he, she, be, we:

| Yes, those are MY dog bone shoes. |
I wrote each word on a different color of large construction paper - once facing out on each side. I cut the pieces into squares so they would fit all together on a table later. I laminated them so we could use them over and over. I divided my class into 4 teams. Each team sat (but they ended up standing) on one side of our large rectangular rug. The team had a list of the 5 sight words. WeMeHeSheBe (click to link to PDF of list). I spread the word squares down the middle of the rug. One person from a team tosses a dog beanie baby towards the words. The student reads the word and the team captain or any member of the team checks off the word. Then I pass the beanie to the next team. The kids decided that the beanie just had to be touching the paper. Of course I let kids help each other, but it wasn't necessary as everyone seemed to read the words each time (YES!). The team needs to consult their list before tossing the beanie - more reading words. It was quick and the students seemed to have fun. I put the cards on a table during reading workshop and kids sat and dropped the beanie on the cards and read the words - whatever gets them reading!
Here's a basic math sheet for practice counting sets to 5.
How Many? Flower theme to 5
I hope your students are as fun as mine are this year.
