Introduction
This is the Grade 1 Physical Education and Arts course (Ages 6–7). It is written so a child can learn with a teacher, a parent, or a careful older sibling. Every lesson tells you what will happen, why it matters, how to try it, and how to know you understood. The PlusOne / HBC teacher’s guide PDF sits beside the lessons so you can open the original pages when you want the full book.
What you will learn

Crayons, paper, and something to count or hold. An adult nearby to help. Open space to move. Paper and crayons. Water to drink after play.
