Lesson Plans for Kindergarten and Primary Teachers -

Charity, is that a list of what 1st graders are being taught in public schools, or what kids their age should know?

My son knows 75% of what is on that list, and mostly because I have been working with him. He is only 5 .

Wow, maybe there is a distinct possibility that he is bored in Kindergarten!

It sounds like you are doing all the right things already.

That is one scope and sequence from one particular set of curriculum. It varies somewhat from vendor to vendor.

Here is one that we have used most years in our own school.

I think this one is top of the line.
