    This was great. I’ve gone back and forth about trying MFW in the past. We never did end up using it fully but we have used components from it and have loved it. Thanks for sharing. Just subscribed. I’m enjoying your homesteading videos. Hope you share more videos on how homeschooling goes. I also have a channel mainly about homeschooling and it would be fun to be friends and connect here 😊

    Hey, thanks for this, we live in MN, but my hubby is a Hoosier! I'm prepping for my second year of homeschooling and have a daughter(also Ellie) who will be in 2nd grade! 😊 I'm looking pretty hard at MFW! And I didn't know there were also groups who do only this curriculum. So fun! Did you get the alphabet border and the worksheets from My Father's World also?

    • @WoltermanHomestead
      @WoltermanHomestead  Рік тому

      Hello! Nice to meet you! That’s exciting! The alphabet board I got at the Dollar Tree. They have lots of cheap things for younger aged kids. I’m not sure about the worksheets you’re referring too. I’d have to go back. The curriculum does come with “student worksheets”. We enjoyed MFW for second grade. I wasn’t a fan of the Language Arts book. There are FB groups specifically for MFW with the grade. I’m in the first and second grade groups. They share good information. Second grade teaches US history and all 50 states. There are lots of people who will participate with your family in sending state postcards so your child can collect them all.
      We’re switching to the Good and the Beautiful this year for third grade. 🥰

    Thinking of using MFW. Have you ever used it as a 4 day schedule and how hard is that? Also, do you add music, art, etc and if so, how have you incorporated that into your days?

    • @WoltermanHomestead
      @WoltermanHomestead  2 роки тому

      You could do a 4 day schedule really easily. Typically Friday is an easy day, it’s more planned for outside exploration. Art and music are added in. It’s simple things. Music is added in much later into the year’s curriculum. You can always add art in easily with younger kids.

    So we also used Abeka last year k5 as well l, did your daughter transition curriculum flawlessly or was it a hard transition. Also is the phonics comparable to Abaka. My son did well with Abeka, but I'm looking for my fun learning

      That’s exciting!! Praying you enjoy and have a wonderful year! We just did different fun learning activities with our little guy. We actually decided to hold off and he’s starting kindergarten this year. We wanted him to be fully ready on his own before starting kindergarten, he just turned 6. We’ll be using the MFW kindergarten program for him.

    About how long do you spend each day on school? Do you spend a block of time or smaller bits of time throughout the day?

    • @WoltermanHomestead
      @WoltermanHomestead  6 місяців тому

      Depends on the day. For my son we break it up throughout the day in small 15-20m bits. For my oldest we sit and do the whole thing. It usually takes a couple hours. We count a lot of things as homeschool outside of book work. We made a couple batches of banana bread today and I count that. They’re reading the recipe and measuring the ingredients.
      The beauty of homeschool is you can change it up each day if you need too or be more strict. You do what works for you.

      @@lindsaypotter3694 I would recommend praying about it. Maybe join the MFW First Grade FB group that’s filled with parents who have used the curriculum and others. Personally I think she’d do fine with it. I know as the grades go on most parents start to supplement other programs and move away from the MFW language arts.
      We actually don’t use My Father’s World anymore. We have been using a mixture of curriculums.
