All Day Kindergarten

[snowwhiteteach]

I teach all day kindergarten, and have found that, because of the "extra time," the first grade curriculum has been "pushed down" to the kindergarten level. I want to know if this is the case for all full day kindergarten programs. If so, how do you keep kindergarten fun? I do Calendar Math, sing and dance to Dr. Jean songs, and Breakthrough to Literacy with a mix of whole language and phonics. I would love to hear from other all day kindergarten teachers and hear what they are doing. I would especially like to hear about daily schedules and curriculum.

Thanks!
