The 2016 curriculum for Primary is as follows:

CTR Classes (Ages 4–7)

Valiant Classes (Ages 8–11)

Shortly before the end of the year you will want to prepare binders for the teachers. Most Wards already have a closet that has the various binders that they rotate through year after year. You may want to check yours, go through and see if picture packets are complete and order as necessary.
Each ward does this differently. Some put one counselor over this, some meet as a presidency and assemble them, one has a end of year appreciation party and then they\ teachers go home with the new binder they helped assemble. Decide what works best for your Ward dynamics.
