My Father's World: Creation to the Greeks

This is our second year of homeschooling and we are advancing on to the next My Father's World (MFW) curriculum: Creation to the Greeks. We enjoyed last year's curriculum (Exploring Countries and Cultures), it was a great introduction to homeschooling and a new system of learning. Moving mid-year made it a bit challenging, especially trying to meet new state requirements.

I am committed to putting in more effort to enhance the curriculum. I learned last year that reading out loud to the boys is very boring. This blog is meant to by my electronic notes for the curriculum enhancements. I have gleaned ideas from other blogs, Pinterest and search engines. I hope you can also glean from my work!
