Finding God 2021, K-8 — Loyola Press

Finding God 2021 is for Grades 1 through 8, but is aligned with Finding God Kindergarten (©2018) which is included in the product listing below. Covering the full and authentic teachings of the Catholic church and rooted in Scripture, Church Tradition, and Ignatian spirituality, Finding God: Our Response to God's Gifts starts children out on a life of intentional discipleship and fosters a lived relationship with God through Jesus. Spiral curriculum integrates the fundamental themes of the Catechism with Scripture and Catholic social teachings. Children are introduced to and revisit concepts and vocabulary from one year to the next, as their knowledge and experience both broadens and deepens. The program features: multimedia content-animations, narrated videos, interactive activities, and audio clips and abundant Scripture. Special sections on the foundations of the Catholic faith, reflection and prayer, multimodal learning; and family resources. 

Finding God for Junior High enhanced with multimedia allows young people to transcend book learning by incorporating rich multimedia that amplifies the affective features of the text, and draws them into a deeper, more meaningful relationship with Christ. By using a media-enhanced, active-learning approach that guides young people to encounter the Gospel and through substantive lessons, experiential activities, Scripture stories, prayer, and multimedia, young people are inspired to live as missionary disciples of Christ. This format follows the traditional model of classroom instruction with the added benefit of engaging multimedia. Students access multimedia by scanning the QR codes on their unit bookmarks or through the new Finding God app. Finding God 2021 (©2021-2022) has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
