|

Using a Charlotte Mason approach to teaching and learning, this kindergarten curriculum
utilizes high quality, beautifully illustrated whole, living
books (not included) available at local and church
libraries, used book stores or online at Amazon.com . To see which books we included in our daily lesson plans for kindergarten, click
here.
One distinctive of this Christian kindergarten
curriculum is that the phonics, handwriting and copywork lessons are taken from the books you are reading
for history and science - reinforcing everything your child is learning!
The
teacher's manual included 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 are provided for you so you have less preparation time and
can spend more of your time teaching and being a
mommy!

As with the rest of Epi Kardia's
curriculum, our Kindergarten Program is organized by the chronological study of history. This
curriculum 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, and they are numbered, so you
may do them consecutively without worrying about getting behind.
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 teach kindergarten 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.
