Grammar Shmammer Part 2

I just wanted to write a brief update to my last post because after going to class today it really helped clarify a few points that I was unsure about. I realize now that grammar 1 is not what I will be teaching my students because that is what comes instinctively and can't actually be taught, or at the very least is unnecessary to teach. After better understanding the definitions of the different grammars I would say now that what I will be primarily focusing on is grammar 2. I honestly don't think that I will be going any deeper than just basic conversational grammar because children don't even really begin to write until about 1st grade. I was interested in clarifying what exactly kindergarten teachers cover just for my own better understanding so I went online and found out just how basic it really is. What I found online about the overall basics of kindergarten learning was:

Recognize and form uppercase and lowercase letters of the alphabet.

Match sounds to each alphabet letter.

Recognize and use rhyming words.

Begin reading words by using initial consonant sounds and such sound patterns as -an and -at (fan, man, can) and (sat, rat, pat).

Recognize a few frequently used sight words such as: the, and, is.

Capitalize the first and last name of a person and the word "I".

Count, recognize, and write the numbers up to 20.

Identify, draw, cut, and name squares, circles, triangles, ovals, diamonds, and rectangles.

Classify and group objects according to such characteristics as shape, color, size, texture, and so on.

Understand how people in communities work together.

Use their five senses to make simple scientific observations.

So to be perfectly honest I may now be completely going against my previous post in saying that grammar may not be widely covered at all in my classroom. I think it is hard for me being in this class because I want to participate and be able to stretch my positivity into thinking I can cover most of the topics we talk about in class, but after looking at the basic  guidelines that kindergarten teachers cover, it gave me quite a wake up call.  I guess in my mind I had kind of linked kindergarten and 1st grade as pretty much the same thing--but I am quickly learning that this was a very false assumption. What I will be doing mostly in my class is just preparing the students for what is next to come in terms of grammar and writing. I will mostly be working hands on through oral communication, grammar 2, and as I know realize that may just be the extent of it.
