Kindergarten Complete Program

Literature-based, Unit Study Curriculum

Description and Sample

Epi Kardia's literature-based, unit study Kindergarten Complete Program contains everything you need (besides the library books!) to teach history, science, language arts (phonics, sound formation, handwriting, poetry, memorization, narration and more), fine arts, and projects -- using high quality, beautifully illustrated whole books.   The teacher's manual tells how to teach kindergarten---from the supplies you will need (and how to organize them) to ideas for occupying busy toddlers while you are teaching. Complete daily lesson plans, with the above subjects integrated, are done for you so you have less preparation time and can spend more of your time teaching.

As with the rest of Epi Kardia's unit study curricula, KCP is organized by the chronological study of history and is divided into 11 historical units, with one additional unit on world geography.   Most units are four weeks long, except the Civil War Unit (3 weeks) and the Immigration and Expansion Unit (5 weeks).  A ‘school week’ is defined in this program as four days.  There are 45 four-day weeks for a total of 180 school days.  The Weekly Plans contain 45 weeks of plans, allowing some “wriggle room,” should you choose to spend an extra day or so on a unit or two.  If you decide to school 5 days a week, you will have 36 weeks of school.  Each day is numbered, but they are not assigned a specific day of the week to give you the flexibility to choose a 4-day or 5-day week.  Remember, Kindergarten is supposed to be fun and flexible, so make any curriculum you choose work for you and your family. It is supposed to be a tool rather than enslave you!
