Adventures in My Father's World, Second Edition
For 2nd or 3rd graders
who have no siblings in 4th - 8th grade.
(Also for 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 with no older siblings in 4th - 8th grade.. 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.
