The district has completed a detailed Kindergarten Science Curriculum Map as of June 2026, outlining units by trimester, NGSS-aligned standards (e.g., K-ESS2-1, K-PS2-1, K-2-ETS1-1), content, skills, vocabulary, and assessments. The map repeatedly references specific resource types such as Scholastic News, BrainPop Jr., read-aloud texts, teacher-created materials, and STEM activities for topics like weather, plants, animals and habitats, pushes and pulls, matter, sunlight, recycling, life cycles, and engineering design. While no vendor is selected or purchase is approved in this document, the scope signals a district-level effort to standardize and possibly refresh science instructional materials, digital content, and STEM kits across Kindergarten. Vendors of NGSS-aligned curriculum, manipulatives, and early childhood science/engineering resources can position supplemental or core materials that fit these units, especially digital platforms or print periodicals that mirror the referenced formats. A productive next conversation would explore how the district plans to source or expand these named resources for full implementation in upcoming school years and how external providers can align content, teacher PD, and assessment supports to this new map.
