My Story - 1

My Story 1: And the World Around Me helps first graders expand their view of the world beyond home and family. Through short, twice-weekly lessons, your child explores geography, citizenship, culture, economics, and communities while discovering how people live, work, and worship around the globe.

Organized into four seasonal quests, the course gradually broadens your child's perspective. Lessons begin with familiar experiences and steadily introduce new places, people, and ideas, helping young learners build an understanding of both their local community and the wider world.

Rather than relying on memorization, My Story 1 uses stories, discussion, journaling, flashcards, puzzles, and hands-on activities to make social studies meaningful and memorable. Children learn about different cultures, communities, and ways of life while developing empathy, curiosity, and a growing awareness of God's world.

The 416-page workbook is fully open-and-go, with lessons written directly to your child and no separate teacher guide required. Short lessons fit comfortably into early elementary schedules while still providing rich opportunities for conversation and discovery.

Parents appreciate the gentle pace and thoughtful approach. Social studies becomes more than learning facts about places—it becomes an opportunity for children to understand people, communities, and their place in a larger world.

With colorful pages, engaging activities, and a biblical worldview woven throughout, My Story 1 provides a meaningful introduction to social studies that helps first graders look beyond themselves and begin exploring the world around them.
