how much children learn in Kindergarten. First of all, this is only the language arts part of the curriculum. Did you happen to look up the other parts (science, social studies, etc.)? This is a basis of the language arts curriculum, the necessary elements, but there is much more going on in a classroom than one would think and much more than is noted in the Standard Course of Study. Try taking a look at the rest of the curriculum for starts. Have you ever been in a Kindergarten classroom for an extended amount of time? Covering all of the curriculum along with teaching the social skills children should learn at the Kindergarten level makes for a busy 180 days.
