Futher Up and Further In

I'm checking out a new one year curriculum called Futher Up and Futher In by Cadron Creek Christian Curriculum. Here is a bit taken from their website:


Further Up and Further In By Diane Pendergraft Edited by Margie Gray

"This rich study is based on C.S. Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia. It covers a wide range of subjects, including English and literature, history and social studies, geography, science, Bible and character building, cooking, and art.
What Shakespearean play influenced The Voyage of the Dawn Treader? Where would you find minarets like those in The Horse and His Boy? What does Turkish Delight taste like? Step through the wardrobe with wardrobe with Further Up and Further In and find out!
Like each of the Cadron Creek unit studies, Further Up and Further In is a highly self-contained curriculum. This full-year curriculum is an extensive study of The Chronicles of Narnia, which integrates a wide range of subject studies, including English literature, social studies, geography, Bible and character building, cooking, and art. It also supplements science and history.
Each of the seven books in the Narnia series is studied in a separate four-week unit. The Appendix section comes complete with recipes, activity directions, recommended reading for background information, poems, a resource listing, and a list of subjects covered, organized under headings for quick reference."


One of my friends ordered it yesterday and so I'll be able to check it out in a week! It sounds really interesting and something my oldest son would love! What do you think? Here is their web address: www.cadroncreek.com

That looks really cool!!! My Jake would love something like that in a few more years!!!! Also, didn't you say that you were using "My Father's World" at one point? How do/did you like that?

My son actually used that in the
5th grade but there were many parts that were too advanced for him so I had to modify it.
It can be a very enriching study! I would hold off a few years until your children have a few more skills under their belts but I think you will really enjoy it!!
Blessings,
