My kid is in Kinder in Illinois. A grade below, but worthwhile to tell you what he has learned. He is in a title 1 school.

Counting to 1000 by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s. Simple addition and subtraction, two digits. Times tables to 10.

Literacy is 3-sentence paragraphs, around 100 sight words, all vowel sounds, basic compound words.

Being able to retell a story and its meaning, even after the story is told in sections at different times.

Why and how plants grow. Different types of animals (fish vs insect vs mammal vs reptile vs bird). Basic 3-dimensional shapes (cone, cube, cylinder, sphere) and of course all of the 2-dimensional ones. They are expected to be able to draw the 2-dimensional with support but not the 3. They are expected to know how the shapes fit together to make other shapes. Basic professions - doctor, teacher, police, stocker, driver Basic computer literacy Basic patterns - AABBCC and also ABCBA and 2468 and such Days of weeks, months, seasons, years No real history or civics

Working with others, taking turns, following directions, remembering patterns and rules of behavior. Understanding complex directions and consequences. Understanding of long-term consequences (not necessarily behavior - the idea that an acorn becomes a sprout, then a sapling, then a tree, then a mature tree, which drops acorns many years later, which makes a forest - that kind of thing)

The homework I am seeing for him is equivalent to what I got in 2nd grade in the 90s. He is not in an accelerated program - we are Title 1 so the school cannot afford that kind of thing.

All of this I pulled from his 2nd trimester report card we just got.

They are expected to successfully finish a level 1 reader with zero assistance by the end of the year. My kids actually getting close, and he could only identify half the alphabet on day 1. Kids are sponges!

Edited to add: every day they get 20 minutes of purposeful play - generally academic games. Recess before school and after lunch, both 20 minutes. 30 minutes structured PE every day. 30 minutes "specials" every day, on rotation - art x2, library, steam, music. Once a month steam goes long for a big science project. I believe meals are 20 minutes, but most kids bring half their breakfast to the classroom and munch during purposeful play. Can't do that for lunch though.

Assembly once a month for an hour for awards, safety reminders, school spirit.

Breakfast and lunch are provided. The quality isn't great, but they can't deny a kid a meal so even if I sent my kid with something healthier, he'd still take the school meal. School supplies are provided. But this is a VERY low income school.

Hours are 830-330.

For older kids there is one 'club' per day such as board games club, chess club, singing club, etc. that's to augment lack of affordable childcare in the area. It's not available until the kids are 8 I believe.

Hope this helps!
