My son was at childrens church on Sunday during the service this past Sunday. The teacher was looking for a video that she wanted to play but couldn't find it so while she was looking she asked the kids to draw something that they recently learned. My son drew Christopher Columbus, and John Smith. He added viking clothes and everything. He has been so excited about his history this year thanks to My Fathers World Adventures. It just brought tears to my eyes that what we did here during school time was exciting enough for him to think of that first. He knows so much more then I ever did about the founding of our great nation! With the history books, hands on activities, and book basket he is just filled with information. We are also doing some great read alouds from Sonlight Core 3 at night, that is the American History Core, thanks to a great friend in my coop that loaned them to me for the year because she wasn't using them-what a blessing! He is so interested in the vikings, explorers and the Indians, right up a boys alley. I can't tell you how much fun we are having. I thank God everyday for bringing My Fathers World into our lives, it was truly what I was looking for. Thank you to my dear friend Dorothy who helped me discover what a great curriculum that it is after sharing all of her notebooks and materials with me, its such a perfect fit for our family.
