Enhance your Grade 1 Social Studies lessons with this comprehensive worksheet collection tailored to the Local Community strand of the Ontario Curriculum.

Your students will demonstrate their learning for Social Studies by sharing their experience with the local community. From exploring community services and helpers to fostering a sense of belonging and gratitude, these worksheets cover various aspects of community life. Students will reflect on their school's land acknowledgment and learn how they can care for, appreciate and share the land that was once occupied by an Indigenous nation. They'll think about how and why their community has changed over time, and engage in hands-on mapping activities.

Your students will draw pictures, write short responses, and do cut and paste, and mapping activities as they think about their community, its features and services. This 15 page resource is designed to complement your teaching of the expectations of the Ontario Curriculum, including the updates for 2023, for Grade 1 Social Studies.

Worksheets can act as a starting point for discussion, and as a means to demonstrate their learning. Collect these pages and use them as data for your report card comments for social studies.
