This section of the Kindergarten curriculum provides general information on theme building and assessing student learning when you work within the context of a theme. The section also includes two model themes of study--"Modes of Transportation" and "Spring". These models are intended to illustrate how a theme can be used to guide learning in many different aspects of the Kindergarten program.
