Abstract

I have created a Grade 1 Nature Curriculum Guide. This document will allow teachers to have their instruction take place in nature while still meeting the Saskatchewan curricular guidelines for the school year. Various benefits to nature exposure for children and adults alike and how the outdoors naturally lends itself to a Grade 1 school year are outlined. I continue to frame my central theme with the ideas of creativity, curiosity and a well-rounded education. The general format of the Saskatchewan curriculum is used in the creation of my nature curriculum guide.
