There are many important reasons to have themes in education. For the kids, it provides predictability, structure, and also a little variety. Kids need routines that make them feel like their lives aren't in chaos, but also variety to make it seem not-so-boring all the time. For parents/educators, themes make sure you aren't off track and you cover all the necessary material.
