Join us in this complete curriculum class for Kindergarten students to be well on their way to learning all they need to know.  This class is part 1 of a 2 part full year complete curriculum course. In this course you can expect PE, phonics, science, and geography as well as social emotional learning, gross motor skills, fine motor skills,  mathematical concepts, problem solving, language and vocabulary, writing skills, listening skills, musical skills and more!  In this class learners will join Wild and Unstructured Learning in an adventure to grow their minds with understanding and readiness for 1st grade.  

Taking both parts of this class will equal a full year of classes.  After the full year, students are ready to move forward to 1st grade level classes.
