Kindergarten Cirriculum
hi everyone I'm going to be doing a post review of K for kindergarten curriculum and actually I should probably rename it from K 4 to K 5 because it's a full kindergarten curriculum now and so if you'd like to take a closer look at what's all included in this and what it looks like please stick around we'll take a closer look.
Okay so we're gonna take a little bit closer look inside my K for kindergarten curriculum and as I mentioned when I first started this I called it k4 because it was really kind of it meant to be an intermediate program that was sort of for kids who were four years old who were past preschool level activities.
But not quite ready for kindergarten and so that's kind of how it started out and then as I went I added more and more and more to it and now at this point it's really a full-on I would say k5 kindergarten program but you could use it for four or five-year-olds if they've gone through my letter of the week program first so let's take a closer look at what is all included and how I organized all this because it's a lot of material.

It might be a little difficult for you to read this but this is kind of an overview of all the different skills and whatnot covered in my k4 kindergarten curriculum it covers everything that you need for kindergartens which is basically you're gonna be doing more handwriting this year you're going to be doing more numbers you're gonna do beginning math you're gonna continue working on letter sounds and doing more reading as opposed to just learning the letter and what they say like my letter of the week curriculum there are lots of games and activities in here to reinforce phonics and reading beginning reading there's also because like I said beginning math and counting some addition some beginning subtraction and then lots of word building activities.
In here there's a ton of games and crafts just like my letter of the week and so really really there's a lot of things that are included in this curriculum so what you'll get when you buy it is you're gonna get the day we left some plans which I'll show you in a minute and then you're going to get all of the principles that you need for here's all the math ones they're not the math ones but here's some of the math ones there's beginning adding and subtracting there's number order and this goes from you know number order from zero to100 but then it also goes through all of the different skips counting as well there's skip counting and number cards here as well then there's fun number of mazes on there's calendar activities as well so they're going to be keeping track of the calendars and number writing and such like that there's also a ton of beginning reading and phonics practices where they're finding vowels in words locating.
You know which picture which vowel sound it starts with or as they get more advanced through the curriculum they'll be doing the beginning blends and identifying those as well there's missing letter games there's letter hunt worksheets sight word worksheets phonics practice and all that kind of stuff and then of course there's all kinds of handwriting practice numbers letters review sheets they're going to be practicing their name and all those kind of things.
So and then last but not least there's also some more sight words spelling they're gonna do it's like a beginning spelling because you're you know you're in kindergarten here and they're still really learning how to do the phonics of it all and then there's a ton of review games and extra practice and beginning reading books and that kind of thing that are going to be covered in here so there's a lot of stuff that's covered.

This is a full 34-week kindergarten curriculum and just like my preschool curriculum this also comes with an assessment and again I do not share these results with my children I just
simply give them assessments so that I know where they are and what I need to work on with them</font> and all that kind of thing so that they're ready to move on to the next phase there's also sight word assessments in here so that you can kind of know which sight words they've gotten a grasp on and which ones you still need to work on it as well and then, of course, like my other one it also includes daily lesson plans and these are in this binder for the fair that.
I went to so is easy to show people but I actually have this spiral-bound just so that it's easy for me to kind of flip from page to page and this is laid out similar to my letter of the week this one is happens to be on week nine and again it has Monday through Friday across the top here's kind of your activities where you're going to be doing your calendar and your date and any review stuff that you've learned so far we continue to review all year long they're going to be working on their memory verse up here
Aand then doing their daily learning notebook which I'll show you in just a minute and then on Monday it goes through and it show it tells you exactly what to do and there's subjects down the sights you kind of know what you're working on so, for example, it starts off with calendar handwriting sight words math phonics art and then reading and those are going to be pretty much the same throughout the week not the same activities but you'll do them in the same order you can swap around the order if you want to do.

Something else first or whatever it's you know pretty flexible but I do suggest doing at least these activities
listed in here each day if you want todo a four-day week instead of a five-day week you can kind of combine in some of these activities to make it fit your schedule a little bit better as well.
So it's pretty easy to follow it just tells you the name of the file which I'll show you in a second and then what to kind of do with that worksheet so the instructions I think are fairly easy but of course we have any questions you're always welcome to email me and then at the beginning of the notebook it tells you any additional resources that I think you might enjoy these are all optional there none of them are required so they're just some extra things that we had fun with but the curriculum as a whole stand is a standalone you don't need to buy a bunch of extra stuff to go with it all right so they do number practice where they're writing writing.
Tthe words and then finding the number down here there's also quite a bit of number writing practice and there's still some speak some beginning just pencil skills practice on there there's also lots of letter writing review and then upper and lower case and then there's also quite a bit of number writing practice and so this is all included in the curriculum of course and then there's some blank pages for you if you want to do that there's also quite a bit of reading practice in here and so they're gonna do things like you know associating just the beginning sound so
And there's instructions on here but you're gonna look at the first row and then circle anything that starts with that same sound as letter you see there and then Ave they progress they'll be
And there's instructions on here but you're gonna look at the first row and then circle anything that starts with that same sound as letter you see there and then Ave they progress they'll be
listening for the middle sounds so for example in the word box the Vala sound as uh-oh so you would stay
with circle oh and I have these in page protectors right now but for the curriculum I actually just print them on regular copy paper and then they can use a pencil or crayon or card pencil or whatever if you want to save these and reuse them you certainly could do that put them in a page protector.
I hope you enjoyed this kindergarten cirriculum and I will see you next time.
