Thank you for your responses!
So now, question on specific curriculums. My goal is to keep it simple, so it is something I can and will stick with, but at the same time feel good about what we are doing -- that it is very rich in literature and such...
I like the classical model, as it is cohesive! The science and history flow well, and it is easy to add art in as well, following the timeline with art history.
SO...curriculum questions.
My Fathers World---is this classical education??? When I looked at the first grade curriculum, it didn't seem like there was any history other than the Bible. and it didn't seem like there were suggested read alouds?
I would like to find a history that does both Bible and Regular World -- in the same chronological time.
Honest opinion on MFW -- is this a "rich" curriculum... is it watered down...or a pretty engaging and in depth? (I just don't want to purchase a curriculum, and feel like I need to add more to make it more rich -- and then am back to stressing about are they getting enough! sheesh! is it just me?)
What i have seen with MFW -- I like that it seems simple and cohesive -- and a directive Bible lesson...which I need better direction in.
Question on Apologia...any thoughts? I have heard great things about it...but don't want to complicate things by having so many different in depth curriculums in our core that I am overwhelmed and stress....Especially when our other children reach the age of schooling. I want to set us up so we can find a model that works for us, and have a smooth transition when the other children are added to schooling....
Again, simple is my key!...Any more suggestions?
thank you in advance!
