Religion in Life Curriculum Third Grade Teachers Plan Book and Manual

Developed in the 1930s by the Marquette Institute of Catechetical Research, the Religion in Life Curriculum is more than just a Teacher's Manual for use with its accompanying textbook series, The Highway to Heaven.  It lays out a complete course of religious education that includes music, art, reading and classroom activities. 

This Third Grade Teachers Plan Book and Manual includes presentation and development material for the lessons contained in the Third Grade text, The Life of the Soul, along with recommended readings and activities for both student and teacher. Many of these readings were taken from contemporary Catholic school readers now long out of print. These have been painstakingly collected and reprinted in a companion anthology: The Magnificat Third Reader.  A full listing of recommended resources for this curriculum can be found here.

Please note: The lessons for the Sacraments of First Confession and First Communion were designed to be used with any of the first three grades of the curriculum. However, the teacher's lesson material for these sacraments is found in the First Grade Teacher's Manual, not in the Second or Third Grade Manuals.

This edition faithfully reproduces the original manual and includes supplementary material from the 1931 curriculum overview, A Curriculum in Religion, as well as a newly compiled appendix listing the recommended supplementary texts.
