Thanks for sharing ladies :O) All the together~ness, no better place to be than with my boys everyday! Listening as my oldest leads prayer, to hear his heart f...

This upcoming school year we will be doing MFW K and Adventures. I am concerned about the time each of these will take. Not concerned about my time but adding that much time to theirs. I know it is all part of it, but... I can't imagine leaving anything out of K because it all looks so neat and fit...

Next year will be our first year of homeschooling. My kids will be in first grade and from what I understand, MFW takes about 1.5 to 3 hours a day, correct? I live in Missouri, where the law says that we are supposed to do 1000 hours of homeschool a year. 600 of those hours are supposed to be in co...

Super Excited as Monday was BOXDAY for us! We will be doing ECC & MFW1st for the next school year. I have read the threads about Co-op with ECC. At our Co-op no other families use MFW so I don't want to be sending homework for them to do since they already probably have a full schedule for the rest ...

YAY for the kiddos! It's amazing how much they really do listen & learn, especially when you don't even realize it til a situation like this pops up.

As we get ready for the next school year (ECC) I was looking through the ECC's books & I started skimming then I ended up reading about George Muller in Hero Tales, I realized we had his bio. in Christian Heroes: Then & Now. It was all I could do to put those books down & save them for next year! LO...

I have a DS that will 6 in Nov. and one that will be 8 in Dec. I just ordered my 5yo MFW K. and plan on starting it in about a week. My plan is to do K and 1st with him by the fall of 2014. I have a different program that I was planning on using this fall for my 7yo but don't mind not doing it if s...

We listened to the song "American Dream" by Casting Crowns and talked about how easy we can start to build castles from sand if we are not watchful. Then we listened to "Slow Fade" also by Casting Crowns, we talked about how we can slowly start to think things are gray & before we know it we've left...

I'm still looking at MFW and comparing with other curriculums to find the best fit for us. I keep reading how MFW is more "hands on" than the other primary contender for next year's curriculum for us. Can somebody describe what is meant by MFW is more "hands on"? Is it worksheets, crafts, experimen...

My ADV & K'ers favorite was Squanto!
We added the Little House on the Prairie series, they really enjoy LHOTP so it's worked well for us.
My K'er still asks when can we read Squanto again

For sure keep their creatures that were suppost to be horses LOL & just toss this into one of those things you'll miss & laugh about as you tell their children oneday! Hugs! Last year we were having one of "those days" ds was suppost to draw & write about David & Goliath, (I was waiting for at least...

My daughter continues to struggle with reading at times, but has been making some progress. Lately I have been asking her to look at each word and read it silently to herself before trying to say it aloud, and that has helped immensely! So she asked if she could read whole passages to herself befor...

Help With Placement Please I am thinking about next school year already. My son will not turn 6 until late November but he is already reading. Which MFW package would you recommend for him for this coming fall? K or 1st grade? Thanks (and let me know if you need more info)! I vote for K. One of the...

What have other moms used the state cards from Adventures for?? We have two sets of the cards and other than using them for coloring their state sheets, the cards kind of just sit in their container all nice. &) It would be fun to use them in some other way, but I can't think how....Lol. :-) Now we...

All can be done around 2 FULL hours, especially if everyone is in a cheery mood including baby & if I have things organized :-) :-) At the end I set timer for 15min. of book basket time for both kids. I made copies of both K & ADV grids so I'm not flipping back & forth & can see at a glance if we mi...

We are in ADV so listening to Chocolate & drinking hot chocolate was an assignment the kids loved! Our Geo. Club was on Russia last week so ds did a report on Tchaikovsky & played Trepak from the Nutcracker Ballet & handed out candycanes while he told how the Russian dancers were dressed like candyc...

Love You Forever had me in lol'ing & crying at the same time......when that mommy got in her car & drove across town for her baby! Such a wonderful story

Ds didn't like the first book til he reached around page 100. We start the second singa book today. I realize I'm no help LOL I just wanted to say I totally understand!! I also have a friend that is loving right start.....but I keep thinking about singa's math scores. We are gonna see how this next ...

Next year I would be teaching MFW Preschool and 1st grade together, the year after that I would be teaching MFW K and 2nd grade together, then 1st and 3rd. How easy/difficult is it to teach these grades together (I am more concerned about teaching K and 2 together, and 1st and 3rd, if we continue w...

This week my ADV surprised my K'er with a space helmet & a rocket to go along with the "MOON" unit & designed it to match the Little Bear Goes to the Moon story. :-) Mine are all loving SCHOOL! Its so precious & exciting to see how they all want to be involved. My 2yr. walks into the school room say...

We used Banner Paper (not as thick as cardstock) but folds up wonderful
It took 11 sheets completed, I didn't laminate any of it.
We kept it folded up last year then after it was completed we hung it up.

I bought a 10 drawer shelf on wheels & toss subjects in each drawer. Every evening I place the next days worksheets in these. Ours looks like this ADV 1.How many is a 100? page (as we write in each school # day) 2.Spelling 3.PLL & handwriting 4.Story of US & APP (History/Geo worksheets go here also)...

Hi everyone, this fall I will be homeschooling for the first time! I will have a boy in 2nd grade and a boy in Kindergarten along with another one that is 4 years old and a baby. I am looking for tips on how to do both Adventures & K together without too much stress. Any tips would be great!! Then,...

I agree with erin!
The wb is filled with a great range from easy to more difficult.
I don't think you will be disappointed at all using totally MFW.
