Give Grade 1 learners a meaningful year of learning rooted in strong academics, nature and practical life skills.
The Maplestead Learning Grade 1 Teacher Guide is a detailed, flexible teaching resource created for classroom educators and homeschooling families. Organized by subject and designed with Alberta’s Grade 1 curriculum in mind, it helps teachers plan purposeful lessons while adapting learning to each child’s needs, interests and pace.
This teacher guide supports instruction in:
• English language arts and literacy
• Mathematics
• Science
• Social studies
• Physical education and wellness
• Fine arts
• Nature study
• Homesteading
• Age-appropriate survival and outdoor-safety skills
Educators will find practical teaching guidance, subject overviews, learning connections, planning support, instructional ideas and assessment considerations. Canadian perspectives and Alberta-relevant examples are incorporated throughout, while nature, homesteading and survival enrichment encourage responsibility, curiosity, confidence and respect for the land.
This is a teacher guide—not a student workbook. It is intended to help educators understand what to teach, organize the year and create engaging learning experiences using books, conversations, hands-on activities, outdoor exploration and everyday materials.
Suitable for homeschool settings, traditional classrooms, learning pods, tutoring and flexible educational programs.
