This is our 8th year using the My Father's World curriculum and I still love it. We will have a 3rd grader, 5th grader, and a 7th grader using the 1850 to Modern Times materials. HISTORY We will continue from last year's study. This year, we will learn about the happenings in the world and the U.S from 1850 to now. We will also continue the state study and the president study. These are the examples of state sheets and president sheets I made for the kids.

The older ones did not do spelling for these last weeks but Lil Sis continued with Spelling by Sight and Structure. Science No Science Art We did not do art. Book Basket Books we read for le...
