Kindergarten

MSAD 72 has adopted the K for Me programming provided by the Maine DOE. This interdisciplinary, whole child focused instructional program is adapted from Boston Public Schools’ Focus on K2 curriculum. K for ME supports Kindergarten students’ learning and development in literacy and language, science and engineering, social studies, the arts, and social-emotional realms. The program integrates research-based instructional practices aligned to Maine’s Learning Results while it builds children’s agency as learners and citizens. Through its intentional and connected design, K for ME engages student thinking and doing around a variety of topics utilizing developmentally appropriate practices
