Adventures in My Father's World
For 2nd or 3rd Graders
(and advanced 1st graders who are reading and writing well)
Travel back in time and explore U.S. history and patriotic symbols from a Christian perspective with fascinating stories, hands-on activities, a timeline, and a student created history notebook. Also includes U.S. geography, Bible, science, art, music, and more.
NOTE: Adventures in My Father's World is a one-year program designed for 2nd or 3rd graders who are the oldest in the family. Second or third graders with older siblings should skip it and go directly into the Five-Year Cycle, joining in their siblings' current program. This ensures that a parent does not have to teach two different programs for 2nd - 8th graders.
Teacher's Manual
- Daily lesson plans are in an easy-to-use weekly chart format. Charts list each subject; all of the books in the package are scheduled for you. Additional helpful information and directions for hands-on activities are included. We do the lesson planning for you.
Bible
- Learn how wonderful Jesus is as you study about the Bread of Life, the Lamb of God, the Good Shepherd, the Rock, and more. Includes hands-on activities and memory verses. Children enthusiastically read the Bible for themselves using the NIrV Discoverer's Bible for Young Readers. This Bible, based on the NIV and adapted for begining readers, uses large 12-point type.
U.S. History and Geography
- Enjoy U.S. history with a collection of great books, all fully scheduled in the Teacher's Manual. Exploring American History provides the framework. American Pioneers and Patriots contains delightful stories about children in the early days of the U.S. Hands-on activities reinforce learning. Also study patriotic symbols such as the flag, the Pledge of Allegiance, and the Statue of Liberty. Libraries have a wealth of books about U.S. history that will add to your learning.
- Learn U.S. geography with a brief trip through the 50 states, one state per day, and related hands-on projects.
- Integrate history, geography, art, composition, and handwriting as students create a United States notebook.
- Optional read-aloud books enrich the study of history (in the Deluxe Package).
Science
- Explore the fascinating world of science - stars, weather, plants, animals, atoms, energy, gravity, friction, sound, computers, and much more. Enjoy beautiful full-color pictures and interesting information in First Encyclopedia of Science plus hands-on science activities from Science with Air. Nature studies include Birds, Nests and Eggs, and an optional weekly nature walk.
Art and Music
- Enjoy hands-on art projects related to history, geography, and Bible.
- Learn patriotic songs with Celebrate America.
