Kindergarten to Third Grade Daily Activity Calendars 2004-05
Activities in the 2004-05 kindergarten through third grade activity calendars are to be used at home for educational enrichment and to promote parental involvement in education.
Because of space, these calendars exclude weekend days. However, activities can be shared with children on any day of the week or month throughout the school year.
The activities have been developed using some of Louisiana's Grade-Level Expectations or GLEs. GLEs identify what students should know an be able to do by the end of each grade (PreK to 12) in the areas of English Language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. For more information on GLEs, contact your child's teacher or call the Louisiana Department of Education at 1-877-453-2721.
