Kindergarten Science
This site is created for all Eanes ISD teachers. The vision is to create an aligned curriculum site to facilitate the collaboration of ELA teaching across the district. This will help translate the ELA standards into sound curriculum with accompanying resources. The curriculum guides will specify the content knowledge and skills that all students are expected to learn in the grade level course.

In Texas, the process standards are skills in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for mathematics, science, and social studies describe ways in which students are expected to engage with the content. These standards/skills should be incorporated into the teaching of the TEKS when possible so that students can attain a greater depth of understanding of complex content.
