Manitoba Grade 1 Social Studies Curriculum Overview
Grade 1 Social Studies in Manitoba introduces young learners to the world around them — starting with their families, their classrooms, and their communities. Students explore what it means to belong, how families meet their needs and wants, and how people in communities work together. These foundational ideas set the stage for deeper Social Studies learning in later grades.
Key Topics in Grade 1 Social Studies
- Families and belonging: Students learn about different types of families and what it means to be part of a group.
- Communities: Learners explore their school and neighbourhood communities and the roles people play in them.
- Needs and wants: Students begin to understand the difference between things people need and things people want.
- Relationships and responsibilities: Grade 1 students learn about working together, sharing, and caring for each other.
