This is a TEMPLATE for a typical kindergartener's class. The orange headings are the same headings you will see in WINGS. Parents are not only encouraged, but are requested to personalize the class for their student. You may cut and paste each section (under the heading) into the appropriate box in WINGS - then you can delete any sections that don't apply and add anything you'd like to include. Please check with your SLPC if you have any questions.
