I love the fact that I can open my Instructor's Guide after making my morning coffee, read the schedule and start school! Everything is laid out for me and as a busy mom of three, this saves my sanity and makes me excited to homeschool for the long haul. Luke loves Sonlight Science. Every week he asks when 'experiment day' will be. I wish you could have seen their expressions after the volcano erupted and the 'lava' was all over their faces. (I think I may have added too much dish soap!) Luke (6, Core B) and Grace (4) are pictured prior to the big eruption.

"My children have become friends, and I am very thankful for that. When in public school up to this year, they were NOT friends. They had friends at school, and did not have much use for each other at home. When we started homeschooling, I was so thankful that we chose Sonlight, because I am able to combine their Core studies and their Science. Every morning we start with them on either side of me, reading History, Bible and Science. They connect over their shared learning, and the tone is set for the rest of the day, even as they go to their separate studies. Zoe (10) and Noah (8) share Core B and Science B in their first year of Sonlight. 

"Sonlight's book selections really have inspired a love for learning in our children, from great Read-Alouds and fun readers, to wonderful history books, missionary stories and exciting science books," writes Sarah R of Adel, IA. "One of my prayers for homeschooling our children was that they would have fun while learning together.  Sonlight really does help create a fun learning experience for our whole family with the books and activity suggestions that they provide." When using Core B and Science B this year, the R family learned how caterpillars turn into butterflies. Here, 5-year-old Samantha watches one of the new butterflies with delight.
