Discover! Finding Faith in Life Grade 1 Teacher Guide

Our founder, Saint John Baptist de La Salle, said “This work of teaching is one of the most important in the Church.”

 

We still believe this to be true—not only for how it touches the hearts of the children you teach, but also for how it shapes the faith of those adults who are helping in this essential ministry.

The Discover! Finding Faith in Life Teacher Guide will equip teachers to joyfully lead children to discover their faith. Imagine, a religious education curriculum that will inspire adults at the same time as they teach the children entrusted to their care!

The Teacher Guide is designed to make leading a lesson easy and fearless, so that adults can engage and discover alongside children, regardless of theological background or training. Each chapter opens with a Lesson at a Glance to quickly summarize the focus, goals, and materials, followed by a Background Reflection to give the teacher personal context for the topic. The Teacher Guide then walks through the lesson itself, with a clear layout and scripted teaching points and prayers to help on every step of the journey.

Meanwhile, each child will engage using the Discover! Finding Faith in Life Child Discover Kit (Grade 1) and their very own Catholic Children's Bible to help them connect the dots and transform a learned faith into a joyfully lived faith!
