National Holidays
Below is a list of the national holidays your kindergartner is expected to be able to identify and explain throughout the year. We teach each holiday as it occurs throughout the year, with the exception of the 3 summer holidays, which we teach during the 4th quarter (March-May). Discuss these holidays with your child to reinforce understanding.
