The time allotments listed are guidelines and may be adjusted for integrated
curriculum. Because
learning to read is the primary focus during kindergarten and first grade,
social studies and science will often be integrated into the language arts block
as non-fiction literature is studied. A separate time allotment for kindergarten
and first grade science and social studies will be designated in weekly lesson
plans if additional hands-on activities are needed to supplement the concepts
taught during the language arts block. Principal’s approval is required when
making significant changes. Grades must be given in each required area each six
weeks.
