2015-2016 Full Day Kindergarten Year Plan
(Keep in mind that this is our goal, but the year plan is not carved in concrete!)
Half Day Kindergarten does try to hit all the stories and poems, but time is VERY limited.
It would be wonderful if you could read them at home, as well as introduce the Social Studies and Science Concepts.
