About this resource

This is a complete, ready-to-teach planning system for Grade 1 Visual Arts in Alabama. It maps a full year to the 2024 Alabama Course of Study: Arts Education - 9 units, 36 instructional weeks and 180 daily plans - and supplies it in two matching versions. The COMPLETED planner is written out in full, so you can adapt a realistic year instead of starting from a blank page. Every daily plan carries a focus, a student-facing learning target, vocabulary in use, a learning sequence, a check for understanding, in-the-moment differentiation and a closure routine. The BLANK planner mirrors the same structure and can be reused every year - as a fillable PDF you can type into, or an editable Word document you can rewrite freely. Also included are assessment and data tools (baseline observation, quarterly rubrics, anecdotal record forms and a portfolio checklist) and a school-submission binder containing submission covers, a standards alignment summary, an evidence checklist, observation and reflection forms and a signature page. The planner is calendar-neutral, so it fits any school calendar - add your own dates, name and school. Every PDF is bookmarked for fast navigation between units, weeks and days, and each planner is supplied in both colour and ink-friendly versions. This is an independently created resource. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, approved by or endorsed by Alabama State Department of Education, any school district, or any assessment provider. Teachers should verify that cited standards are current before school submission.

What a daily plan contains

Each of the 180 daily plans gives a focus, a student-facing learning target, vocabulary in use, a five-part learning sequence, a check for understanding, an if/then differentiation table, and a closure and reflection routine.

Standards alignment

Mapped to the 2024 Alabama Course of Study: Arts Education, issued by Alabama State Department of Education. The planner cites 15 standard references across the year. Standard references were transcribed from the official source document; verify they are current before school submission.

How to use it

Start with the completed planner to see the whole year, then adapt week by week. Use the fillable PDF or the DOCX to build your own version, saving a fresh copy for each week so the blank original stays clean.

Printing and digital use

Sized for US Letter. Print at Actual size or 100 percent, not fit-to-page. Use the COLOR file for colour printing and the INK-FRIENDLY file for greyscale. Every PDF has a bookmarked outline, so the planner also works fully on screen.

Differentiation ideas

Each daily plan already includes an if/then table covering learners who need more support, learners ready for more, and learners who are dysregulated.

Homeschool ideas

The 36-week structure maps to a standard homeschool year. Use the completed planner as your spine and the blank version as your record of what you actually taught.
