Cycle 1 (K - 2nd):
Kindergarten God created the earth and everything in it. Each alphabet letter is linked to an object found in Gods creation and a Biblical character trait. Science activities and hands-on projects reinforce each character trait. First Grade Gods Story from Genesis to Revelation is read, narrated, and illustrated through more than 50 stories in the phonics-based Bible Reader. Simple projects, such as making a Bible times costume, help students connect with the Word of God. Adventures in My Fathers World (2nd or 3rd grade) Students study the names of Jesus, learning about His character while reading from their own grade-level Bible. Science lessons correlate with the names of Jesus (e.g., Bread of Life), and U.S. history spotlights the Biblical character of Americas forefathers. Exploring Countries and Cultures God calls us to share His love with the world. A study of the Gospel of Matthew and stories of missionaries help children understand Gods heart for all people. Students are introduced to the physical and spiritual needs of mankind as we learn about ecosystems and lifestyles in different parts of the world. This foundation prepares students to view the upcoming study of chronological history with Gods heart and mind. Creation to the Greeks See Gods hand and His plan throughout ancient history. An overview of the Old Testament, which serves as a key history text, allows students to study the Bible and ancient history side by side. Old Testament stories and celebrations come to life as families experience the Old Testament feasts, the ten plagues, and much more. Science experiments point to Gods design and purpose in Creation. Creation science teaches about dinosaurs and other discoveries from this time period. Rome to the Reformation An overview of the New Testament and the life of Jesus including a special focus on the books of Luke, Philippians, and 1 John. Roman civilizations, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the Reformation are viewed in the context of Christ and the early church. A study of astronomy and the human body is viewed from a Biblical perspective. Exploration to 1850 Studying and memorizing the book of James helps children understand mans struggles in world exploration. Inspirational true stories of faithful men and women encourage us to press on in difficult times. Gods creative hand is revealed through a scientific study of plants and animals. 1850 to Modern Times Stories from around the world and a life-changing Bible study teach basic Christian beliefs and invite families to live out the amazing privilege and responsibility of sharing Gods story of love with all people. Learn how prayer greatly impacts situations in our world, including many notable historical happenings. A beginning study of chemistry and physics offers many hands-on opportunities to recognize Gods ultimate power in our universe. Ancient History and Literature A verse-by-verse reading of the entire Old Testament encourages challenging, practical, daily application. Worldviews of ancient societies and their literature are studied and compared to a Biblical worldview. Each year of high school includes scheduled participation in student-selected community service projects. World History and Literature A verse-by-verse reading of the New Testament is combined with personal application from Experiencing God Youth Edition and other impacting resources. Church and world histories are studied from the time of Rome to the present. U.S. History to 1877 A Biblical worldview is studied in depth and then used to analyze the diverse worldviews found in early American literature. Worldview disciplines studied include theology, philosophy, biology, psychology, ethics, sociology, law, politics, economics, and history. U.S. History 1877 to the Present Concepts and skills for spiritual growth are taught to encourage lifelong habits and practices. These disciplines include in-depth Bible study, Scripture memorization and meditation, and prayer. Literature and history assignments continue to include analysis from a Biblical worldview.

Our complete unit-based curriculum includes a phonicsbased learning-to-read program focusing on Gods amazing creation (kindergarten), the world of the Bible (first grade), and U.S. history (second or third grade). Then a year of geography sets the foundation for chronological world and U.S. history (through eighth grade). Our high school curriculum provides a Biblical framework for English, history, and other subjects. Provides easy-to-teach, integrated curriculum that is enjoyable, academically strong, and focused on character development. Is committed to the Lord of All, who tenderly searches for people from every tribe and language. A portion of our profits helps support mission work overseas, especially Bible translation projects.

Information Present information about penguins, especially Emperor penguins. Especially interesting is the way Emperor penguins hatch and care for their young. Bible (see notes)
Activities
Pretend to Be a Penguin Use the kitchen floor or a white sheet to represent snow and ice. Penguins cant fly, even though they are birds. So waddle on the snow, slide on your belly, and swim in the water. Eat some fish (tuna fish on crackers) when you get hungry. Hold a hard-boiled egg on top of your feet (try with puffy slippers) and see how difficult it would be to move. Imagine being a father Emperor penguin caring for the egg for two long months! Make up a story about your day as a penguin. Bible (see notes)
Icebergs Penguins live in a cold climate where icebergs are common. Make several icebergs by partially filling small plastic bags with water and freezing them in irregular shapes, somewhat like long triangular shapes, in a freezer. After they are frozen, remove them from the bags and float them in a sink or tub of water. Is any part of your miniature iceberg under water? Badge Make a penguin-shaped badge from white paper. Use black and orage crayons to add color. On the badge print, I show love to everyone, especially my family. Ask the student to tell you what these words mean. Discuss briefly.
Paint a Penguin Show the student a picture of a penguin and let him look at it while he paints a penguin on blue paper. Tell him to add snow on the ground and little dots of falling snow in the sky. Bible (see notes)

What if my child is already reading? Even if your four- or five-year-old is already reading, we still recommend using our kindergarten program. It is so much more than just a phonics program (and includes suggestions for advanced students). Powerful Biblical truthsmany that adults wrestle withare perfectly sized for a fiveyear-old. Children gain a wealth of knowledge about Gods love and His character. Hands-on thematic science units, interwoven with Biblical concepts, build a love of learning as your naturalborn explorer interacts with nature. Time spent cuddled up together with a good book and doing related activities will create memories for a lifetime. Almost all young children benefit from the fine motor skill development in the program and time to mature physically, emotionally, and spiritually before advancing to the next school year. See complete curriculum package on page 8.

My Fathers World from A to Z
Focus: God Created the World and Everything in It Complete curriculum 26 hands-on units Multi-sensory phonics Step-by-step instructions Character development 60-90 minutes daily
(whole/half), clocks, money, and an introduction to addition and subtraction. Science, Bible, Creative Thinking, Character Development, Childrens Literature, and Art are also integrated into the 26 easy-to-teach thematic units. Each six-day unit focuses on one alphabet letter and one corresponding science topic. For example, in Unit 1, S-s-sun, students learn letter s and number 1, study about the sun, construct and use a sundial, observe and chart grapes as they become raisins, paint a sun, listen to a funny book about shadows, and learn that, like the sun, Jesus is the Light of the World. A special feature is the focus on character development integrated into each unit. The turtle unit teaches I dont quit I persevere! The horse unit teaches I obey right away. The zebra unit teaches I cant hide anything from God. Daily Lessons are 60-90 minutes long. The clear step-by-step daily instructions are of great help to new homeschool teachers. Daily work is presented in three parts: 100 chart and monthly calendar Reading lesson Bible/character development lesson and the days special hands-on activityfocusing on science, math, art, childrens literature, and creative thinking (Children ages 3-8 may learn together using these activities.) For classroom use call our office.
A year-long hands-on learning adventure for young children. This complete kindergarten curriculum contains all necessary subjects and Second Edition is ideal for homeschool A Complete Kindergarten Curriculum or classroom. The first two weeks focus on the Creation story from Genesis, followed by 26 hands-on, easy-to-teach thematic units that focus on the wonders in Gods creation. The sun, moon, rocks, vegetables, elephants, butterflies, and dinosaurs are just a few of the exciting topics you will explore. (Learn about Second Edition enhancements on page 6.)
Marie Hazell, M.A.
Reading is taught with a highly successful multi-sensory phonics approach. Hands-on and workbook activities are combined to teach letter names, 26 letter sounds (consonants and short vowels), sound blending, and correct handwriting. Students learn to read and write short vowel words. By mid-year they are reading very simple stories. The reading lessons may be used successfully with 5-year-old and mature 4-year-old children, or with older children who are just beginning to learn letter sounds. See page 6 for placement recommendations. Each unit also recommends a childrens literature book (and alternate choices from a list of over 400 books) related to the theme that becomes the focus of related activities. Borrow these books from the library, substitute picture books of your choice, or purchase the Kindergarten Literature Collection (see p. 9).
By mid-year, students are reading simple stories. Math is taught using an informal, integrated approach. Many skills are woven into the lessons as students cut an apple in half, measure and compare the lengths of dinosaurs and whales, and order leaves by size. All typical kindergarten goals are taught, including counting objects, writing numerals, preparing and understanding charts and graphs, comparing, classifying, sequencing, and understanding ordinal numbers, fractions

2nd through 8th graders study the same curriculum package together. Younger siblings are invited to enjoy some of the fun activities. When they reach 2nd grade, they fully join in their older siblings program.
How Our Multi-Age Family Cycle Works 1. If your oldest is in 4th - 8th grade, begin the Family Cycle at Year One with all 2nd - 8th graders. (K - 1st graders may participate in some of the easier activities for a low-key exposure to topics; however, their focus is our K and 1st grade programs.) If your oldest is in 2nd or 3rd grade, use Adventures in My Fathers World and begin the multi-age cycle the next year. Life is busy, but your well-laid-out lessons
make it very simple to accomplish. We have done 2. Continue through the multi-age cycle. When everything and still have lots of time for play and younger children reach 2nd grade, they life! C. R. join their older siblings in the family cycle using the same year the other children are studying. This unifies the family and assures that Mom is only teaching one of the multi-age cycle programs each year. (Younger children can easily join mid-cycle because they have already been exposed to the earlier years as a part of the family.)
3. When you finish Year Five, go back to Year One and cycle through Years One-Five with all your children who have not reached 9th grade. A 7th or 8th grader will repeat the years he was taught in 2nd and/or 3rd grade, yet he will approach them on a more advanced level. 4. When a child reaches 9th grade, he is ready for parent-guided independent work in our high school program. Each of our programs for grades 2-8 integrates Bible, literature, history/geography, science, music appreciation, art, and character development. Add grade level math and language arts for a complete curriculum program. When teaching multiple children in kindergarten - 6th grade, our easy-to-use daily lesson plans are usually completed in four hours each day when following our recommendations for math and language arts. An additional one to two hours of independent study in science and math is recommended for 7th and 8th graders.
14
The 7th and 8th graders will continue to join the family teaching time for Bible, history, music, art, and read-alouds. As they are able, students transition from parent/teachertaught lessons to parent/teacher-guided independent lessons in science, math, and language arts. This self-directed learning teaches independent study skills, preparing students for high school and college. To make this transition as easy as possible: Science and math courses include daily lesson plans written to the students so they know which pages and which problems to do each day to complete the course in one school year. Math courses also include step-by-step solutions for all textbook problems and tests, as well as an instructional CD for each lesson. To help students learn long-term planning, we suggest the parent/teacher or the student make his own schedule for completing language arts workbooks. Building a schedule using the table of contents is one easy approach. To complete your curriculum for 7th and 8th graders, add: Apologia science (see p. 31) Saxon math (see p. 30) Language arts (see pp. 26 - 28) - Progeny Press Study Guides one each semester - Writing Strands - All-in-One English Series followed the next year by Applications of Grammar - Spelling Power (if needed)

Many language arts skills are integrated into history, science, and Bible activities in our curriculum including: Narration, copywork, dictation, and memorization Informal handwriting practice Read-aloud literature in Deluxe Packages Extensive library lists for read-alouds and readers Vocabulary (Exploring Countries and Cultures, Creation to the Greeks, and Rome to the Reformation) Letter writing (Exploring Countries and Cultures) Composition in science and/or history And more!! You will need to add grade-specific resources as a supplement to assure a well-rounded, complete language arts program. We recommend: Grade 2 Primary Language Lessons (first half of the book) and Spelling by Sound and Structure Grade 3 Primary Language Lessons (last half of the book), Spelling Power, and Cursive Connections Grade 4 Intermediate Language Lessons (first third of the book), Writing Strands Level 3, and Spelling Power Grade 5 Intermediate Language Lessons (middle third of the book), Writing Strands Level 4 (see note below), and Spelling Power Grade 6 Intermediate Language Lessons (last third of the book), Writing Strands Level 5 first half of the book (see note below), and Spelling Power. Students who are academically strong may use All-in-One English Series in 6th grade and Applications of Grammar in 7th grade. Grade 7 two literature guides from Progeny Press, All-in-One English Series, Writing Strands Level 5 last half of the book (see note below), and Spelling Power (if needed) Grade 8 two literature guides from Progeny Press, Applications of Grammar, Writing Strands Level 6 (see note below), and Spelling Power (if needed) Note: Writing Strands levels in the above chart are for students who begin Writing Strands in 4th grade. Your 5th - 7th graders who are new to Writing Strands begin at Level 3 and complete one level each year. Any 8th graders new to Writing Strands begin at and complete only Level 4. For more information, see page 28.
Grades 9-12
Our high school curriculum covers all needed language arts; no other supplementation is required. However, if an incoming student has not had formal grammar instruction, he should complete Applications of Grammar. If a student is weak in composition skills, he should complete Writing Strands Level 4.
We decided to stick with MFW language arts recommendations and I am so pleased to say it is going well. I can see how it is all coming together as we are working our way through the middle of Intermediate Language Lessons. Melissa

Singapore Math was originally developed in the country of Singapore. Students in Singapore are distinguished among their international counterparts for receiving high marks in math. Singapores Primary Mathematics U.S. Edition includes additional information for teaching math relative to American culture (U.S. currency, pounds, ounces, inches, etc.). Singapore Math has a strong mental math component (unlike many U.S. programs) that is one of its primary strengths. Logical, unique strategies are taught that help students truly understand mathematical concepts. Students are then able to solve problems mentally without always relying on paper and pencil. Creative problem solving is encouraged as students are taught several methods to solve the same problem. We also appreciate the manageable number of workbook problems that students are expected to solve on a daily basis. Its effective parent- and student-friendly format makes this a program we highly recommend. Before you order Singapore, your child must take a placement test (available free on our website). Singapore Math is a very strong program; expect your child to test one or two (or more) levels below his actual grade level. Each two-semester set includes two reusable textbooks, two consumable workbooks (one per semester), and lesson plans by My Fathers World. All lesson plans for levels 1A-6B include answers. Workbooks for an additional student are available. Levels 1A-6B: Two-semester set Save at least $10.80..................................... $45.00 each Additional workbooks 1A-4B ............................................... $10.80 each Additional workbooks 5A-6B ................................................. $9.60 each Daily lesson plans ................................................................... $7.50 each

For students in 7th - 12th grade, we recommend Saxon Math with one year of Jacobs Geometry. If your child is in 7th grade and has completed Singapore Level 5B, he should begin Saxon Math at level 8/7.

My Fathers World has had the privilege of influencing secular publishers to edit the content of their books. Walking along-side these publishers, MFWs editorial team has been able to change evolutionary language to more neutral language acceptable to most audiences. The primary change in many resources is to simply change phrases like millions of year ago to many years ago. My Fathers World resources that have been revised: The World of Animals, MFW edition* The World of Science, MFW edition* Illustrated World Atlas, 2011 edition Great Animal Search, 2009 edition Living World Encyclopedia, 2009 edition Pyramids, 2010 edition or newer History of the World, MFW edition Please pray that God will open the door for My Fathers World to work with other publishers in the future.
*The publisher of The World of Science and The World of Animals allowed us, with the assistance of Master Books, to change the overall tone of these books to glorify God for His amazing creation.

Her reading, writing, and critical thinking skills have blossomed. She is also learning how to be that workman not ashamed while learning the truths of the Bible. I am very thankful for My Fathers World and would certainly encourage anyone to use it. I know my daughter will be well prepared for college, should that be the route the Lord takes her. Lisa

Im so excited about the way my daughter is growing in her understanding of a Biblical worldview. This is just what I wanted her to get in high school and its because of how information is presented by MFW! Shes owning it for herself. I see it in conversations we have. Shes a normal teenage girl who likes clothes and music, but these truths that are being planted deeper and deeper into her heart and mind are coming out of her mouth more and more. Teresa
