My Father's World Fosters Love of Learning
We used the Adventures set in My Father's World two years ago and LOVED it. My Father's World (MFW) is a Charlotte Mason style homeschool curriculum and my oldest daughter fell in love with early American history through this curriculum. Her #1 dream vacation (even above Disneyland) is to visit Williamsburg so she can see life like it was when our country was being founded.
Last year, for some reason, I decided to piece together my own curriculum instead of using MFW - not a total mistake, but definitely a learning process. This fall we are going back to MFW and couldn't be more thrilled.
My Father's World is set up to teach multiple age levels in a five-year cycle. I couldn't be more excited to watch my three girls fall in love with learning - and learn together.
MFW is wonderful in that it has taken out most of the teacher prep time and is also very flexible for adding/taking away anything you choose to (not) do. The authors of MFW have also reviewed thousands of books and recommend about a dozen living books that correlate with each section you are studying.
Most of the recommended books are at the local library which made the trip to the library part of our weekly fun. One thing that we truly love about MFW is that the truth of God's word is not just taught during Bible time, but rather woven through science, history and English. It's a perfect example of how life should be - with God woven throughout, not separated and put in different compartments.
I really don't have a bad thing to say about My Father's World. It is a great curriculum that I would recommend to anyone. There is even a chat/support group for MFW to share creative ideas or ask for help.
