MFW: Adventures in U.S. History Conclusion

MFW:  ADVENTURES IN U.S. HISTORY CONCLUSION

We finished our Adventures in U.S. History and have a better understanding of our history.  Have enjoyed learning so much and have added many new places to our wish list of places we want to visit someday.  Pray that one day we will be able to go on a road trip and visit these places we have studied instead of looking at YouTube videos and magazines of these places.

FINISHED U.S. MAP


Excited to have completed her map.

MAGAZINES


I ordered magazines from each state online, we got most of them.  It helped look through them while studying each state.   It nice to still see her look at them and be able to say what she learned from most of of them. Here's the website where I ordered the magazines from:  Freebie-Depot.

LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT


She was super excited to write a letter to the president.  First she told me what she wanted the letter to say, and I wrote it down for her then she wanted to type it on the computer.   Hope we hear from him soon, she even drew him a picture of the White House and put it in the envelope.  


Beside sending out the letter to the president we also sent out letter to 32 embassies to prepare for our next adventures with My Father's World Exploring Countries and Cultures.

MEMORY VERSE


Our door looks great with all the memory verses on the door and some extra bible crafts.

FIELD TRIP CELEBRATION

We end the school year going to the airport to pick up my brother and nephews and then went to the Raleigh Museum of Natural Science, what better way to celebrate than at a museum with family.













SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS AT THE MUSEUM 






 CONCLUSION

We have been blessed with My Father's World Curriculum and have really loved everything about it.  It's been such a perfect fit for out family.  All of us have learned so much and continue to learn each day.  Our homeschooling journey has been an awesome adventure with lots of up and few downs.  Thank God for this opportunity to teach our kids and look forward to our next adventure.  Pray that the kids continue to grow in their learning and their desire never fades away for learning.

GOD BLESS!!!!
