Kindergarten Texas TEKS in the Library

It took a while, but here it is: a comprehensive list of every ELAR TEKS for Kindergarten that I teach in the library.  (Translation for people who aren't Texas teachers: this is what curriculum I teach in the library.)  This was a huge task and I'm glad I did it -- now I see how relevant school librarians are!
