• Kindergarten 社会 研究

    Dear Kindergarten 家庭;

    欢迎 to the Ann Arbor Public Schools Family P年龄s. We hope the information you find here assists you in supporting your child while s/he is learning important skills and concepts throughout the kindergarten year. 
     
    Three key sources inform the elementary 社会 研究 program; (1) The Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations(2) C3 Framework for College, Career and Civic Life for 社会 研究 State Standards, 和(3) 社会 研究 活着!. The Michigan GLCEs define what the state expects students to know and be able to do in 社会 研究 at the end of each grade level. 社会研究! is the core learning resource used throughout the Ann Arbor Public Schools elementary grades.  

    To take a deeper look at each unit go to:     Atlas: Kindergarten Grade 社会 研究
