Draw, Write, Now. Adventures In U.S History

 Draw Write Now 

with MFW Adventures in U.S History

While we love My Father's World, we have never used the art that is recommended, and I have found a lot of success using Draw Write Now .  It provides an  independent time of art that ties into history, while I work with another child on other subjects, like Math or Language Arts.

In second grade, you will only need books 2,3, and 5, but I  bought the  Boxed Set because I knew I would be using it for 2 full years of art, science, history, and writing practice. In 3rd grade it goes perfectly with Exploring Countries and Cultures as you learn how to draw animals from around the world and write a fact about them. They were well worth the investment.
