[teach] Kindergarten Spring Outline

After Christmas, it seems as though the school year  d-r-a-g-s  by so so so SLOWWWLLYYY. Can I get an amen?! It is good to have a "big picture" plan so you can count down your year accordingly and make sure you get to all the good stuff. There will always be the "main" teaching: letters, sounds, blending, reading, writing, math, counting, patterns, adding, subtracting, etc. But I use my big picture plan so I can use the appropriate themes and units to integrate said teaching into instruction. Yay for fun!

Here is my tentative outline for the spring semester with my Kinder babies, along with some ideas (thanks Pinterest! the source is located at the bottom of each picture, and if for some reason it is the wrong source and/or it shows up incorrectly, please let me know so I can fix that!) that I hope to implement with the kiddos... and sorry about the varying sizes/alignments; Gotta love embedding codes...:

What does your second semester look like? For all my non-teacher friends, do you create an outline for each month you're at work... so you can count down the days til your next vacation or deadline? Do tell. You know I love organization!
