We don't do a very structured kindergarten plan, just because I think much of their learning comes from play and interacting with us. This plan was drafted up when my 4.5 yr old demanded that she start school with her sister this year (2010-11). Many of these activities except for the reading and calendar time are done as she is interested. I think 20 minutes of learning to read (as she requested) and 5 minutes of math is more than enough for school at this age. (and that's cool if you disagree - different strokes for different folks!)
