I've tried finding more info about it any cannot. Has anyone used it or know where I can find info about it. All I have heard is that it's a Christian curriculum and that it has to do alot with animals/nature. Both of which appel to me.
Thanks so much for any info!
I've requested the catalog twice and haven't ever recieved one.
There is a general review of it here:

All I know about it is from home school reviews (http://www.homeschoolreviews.com/reviews/curriculum/reviews.aspx?id=201)
And here's the link for the winter promise website:

I recently received a catalog. I've heard really good things about it and then some not so great things about it. mostly that they are a relatively new company and are experiencing major growth spurts. I have considered using WP's Animals and their Worlds next year for my then 2nd grade DD, but I'm not convinced yet it's the right thing for us.
I am however, completely convinced about www.mfwbooks.com I just ordered the K for my DS and the 1st for my DD and we are having a blast! It's laid out very well, lot's of good books from the library are reccommended and everything is well thought out and planned. I was trying to put my own thing together and it just was *not* working. I could care less about early academics, but my poor DD was really wanting to learn to read and we were struggling with getting her there. So far, it's going great, she's having fun and my DS is enjoying his program, too. He was really wanting to learn to read because his big sister is...:lol Best part is most of the hands-on activities are o.k. for my 2yr old to do, too!
I love it that I just open the TM and follow along with what it says. We're not jumping all over the place and I don't feel like we're missing anything. A huge plus when your chasing a 2yr old and pregnant with the 4th!! :wink
