Core Curriculum

Maple Leaf Elementary School offers all of the Manitoba Curriculum: English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Music, Health and Physical Education. All programs follow the curriculum developed by Manitoba Education. Grades K to 4 English stream students also receive instruction in Early Start and Basic French.

1. Basic French - consists of approximately 180 minutes of French language instruction per cycle in grade 4.
2. Early Start French – consists of introductory French language instruction in Kindergarten to grade 3.
3. Resource Program - a wide range of differences in abilities and interests exist in children. The resource teacher helps classroom teachers to develop appropriate learning opportunities so that all students are taught in a way that allows them to be successful and interested in learning. Student Specific Plans (IEP’s, SSP’s or AP’s) and Behaviour Intervention Plans (BIPs) are developed for children as necessary.
4. Guidance – visiting each classroom, working with small groups of students and counseling individual students are all part of the ongoing work of our guidance counselor.
5. Learning Resources Centre - using the growing collection of books in our LRC students are taught how to locate, organize, and communicate according to a divisionally developed curriculum. Since our LRC is computerized, students will learn how to use its computer to search for the materials they need. The lending time for books is six school days. It is school policy that lost and damaged books be paid for.
