Sonlight lessons are all planned out for me and they include all kinds of fun activities. This was our first year homeschooling. I've been terribly busy and sleep-deprived with a new baby and three young children. Using Sonlight's Science A program was the best decision I could have made. Although the program is laid out in a weekly schedule, I've found it easy to adjust according to our needs. Some weeks we do a bit each day. Other times we have a 'Science Day' and do a week's worth of lessons and activities all at once. I simply pick up where we left off. Here, Gideon (2), Miriam (5) and Tabitha (6) make "hot lava" while studying volcanoes.

I love the simply laid out lesson plans, the excellent and diverse choices of literature, and the flexibility Sonlight offers our family. Our oldest thoroughly enjoyed the P4/5 Core last year. This year it couldn't have worked out more perfectly that we were learning about ancient Greece and how the Olympics started, just as the 2012 games were beginning. I look forward to re-reading the wonderful stories with our other children when it's time to begin their schooling. We anticipate a rich home education with Sonlight for years to come! Now in their second Sonlight year, Mark and Beth share a lighthearted llama read with Reese (5), who is studying Core A, Lincoln (3) and Maddox (11 months). 

They have the BEST books, an amazing Instructor's Guide [IG] that walks you through every day, the greatest customer service I've ever encountered, and best of all, my kids are loving life each day. Having the IG makes life easy; we know what to do and our days run smoothly. As a homeschooling mom, I can't imagine my life without Sonlight. The boys have soared in their studies with the amazing books Sonlight has chosen for each Core. Our family is happy, healthy and thriving, and I know I have Sonlight to thank for that! Blaze (9, Core B+C) has been soaring with Sonlight for three years.
