is a list of learning objectives that I think Alysa should know by the
end of the year. Most of these are taken off the Michigan Dept.
of Ed. website. Most of them are actually kindergarten goals, but
I picked all the ones that I thought she should/could know. This
is more to give me an idea of what to work on casually with her, and
not really have it be an intense learning experience.
