FireSmart BC Education Program – Grades K-1
Below you’ll find the FireSmart BC Education Program lesson guides and lesson plans for kindergarten to Grade 1. The lesson guides are designed to help educators bring wildfire awareness and preparedness into the classroom in a flexible, accessible way. Each guide offers a modular approach, allowing lessons to be taught as stand-alone activities or as part of a broader learning sequence. They also include suggestions for adapting content to different learning environments, whether in traditional classrooms, outdoor spaces, or through land-based learning connections, so educators can tailor the lessons to best support their students and community context.
