Hi there!
Our goal is to make your life easier with this long-range plan for the Grade 1 2023 Ontario
Language curriculum.
In this plan, you will find a day-by-day and month-by-month breakdown for how you can organize
your Language program for your students, using resources found on our TPT store: Teacher
Resource Cabin. These resources are also available on our website by the same name, Teacher
Resource Cabin.
If you have our “Full Year Language Bundle for Grade 1,” you already have access to all the
resources featured in this long-range plan.
By using our long-range plan for Grade 1 Language, you can ensure that you are providing your
students with a well-rounded Language education that covers all necessary topics and skills. Our
plan is designed to save you time and energy by providing you with a clear road map for the entire
school year.
Happy Teaching!
