Lighting the Fire: Final Curriculum for the 2012-2013 school year.

Our life in books

This is our eigth year of homeschooling and I finally got around to blogging about our adventures a few years ago.

I love the path that God has us on.

We get to enjoy the lightbulb moments in educating our children and have quite a few of them ourselves.

We are starting Exploration to 1850's this school year, 2012-2013 using My Father's World curriculum.

In the past, we have enjoyed the 'MFW Adventures' and 'Exploring Countries and Cultures', and 'Creation to the Greeks',

Rome to the Reformation,

Exploration to the 1850's and NOW.........

1850's to MODERN TIMES !!

Below is the week by week of lessons for this year if you'd like to start at the beginning.

There is also a handy LABELS area that you can peek through to find a specific lesson.
