Correlation of Alive in Christ School Edition This correlation of Alive in Christ School Edition Grades 1 8 provides page references for the Student Book. Other program components offer additional opportunities for instruction and development of the guidelines. The Teacher Editions include background content on Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture, as well as formation in developmental appropriateness. There are also opportunities for teacher formation on-line. Lectionary connections for a three-year-cycle, assessments, and optional activities are provided, as well.

The Alive in Christ website () includes extensive online resources and interactive connections between the Student Book and the website, along with music, assessments, social media interaction, customized lesson planning, program support materials, a multimedia glossary, question of the week, and many other features. Alive in Christ deepens children s experience of faith through song, with two unique components to meet diverse needs and developmental models. In some cases this music is referenced. Our Sunday Visitor has partnered with LicenSing Online* to provide music for students and teachers. This includes the Alive in Christ theme song and age-appropriate music for each grade at varying steps of the catechetical process. Songs of Scripture: Deepening Children s Understanding of the Word of God is an original work of forty songs designed to teach or unfold the meaning of Scripture. Songs from both of these resources may be sampled and downloaded at. Take Note of the Following: A. Because of Alive in Christ s approach to its scope and sequence, which is structurally organized around seven foundational doctrines of the Church, many of the standards are presented at an earlier grade level and expanded in subsequent years, or will be treated at greater depth in a coming year. B. Alive in Christ School Edition contains an intentional use of activities to assess learning, aid in understanding, reinforce concepts, and apply learning to the child s life. In some cases the activities are cited. Cross-curricular activities to integrate the faith in all aspects of curriculum are found on the Chapter Connections page of every chapter in the Teacher Edition. C. The Vocabulary references in Alive in Christ are named Glossary of Catholic Faith Words, and are cited in the sidebar and found in the Glossary of Catholic Faith Words in the Student Book. D. Our Catholic Tradition: Faith Basics is a reference section found in the back of the Student Book. This section is patterned on the Catechism of the Catholic Church and presents content divided into the four sections of We Believe, We Worship, We Live, and We Pray. This section is referenced in both the Student Text and Teacher Edition with suggestions to teach the content as part of the lesson. E. If a standard is not specifically presented in Alive in Christ, a suggestion may appear for the teacher about where it would be most appropriate to add this content in a lesson. F. In each grade level, Alive in Christ s Teacher Editions present a developmental overview of a child at this age and discuss the content in relationship to the catechetical readiness of the child. G. The NCEA IFG: Acre Edition is directly related to objectives for every chapter in the Teacher Edition on the Chapter Connections page. H.
