SS Kindergarten Unit 2

Flexibility and Change

Unit 2 emphasizes flexibility and prioritization. The Learning Department has provided content variants to help prioritize material, free up flexible focus days, and adjust assignments and quizzes. In this unit, you have the autonomy to choose the new variants, stick with the original course structure, or use a combination of both. The unit overview below reflects the schedule based on the new variants, but your schedule may look different depending on your instructional choices.
