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. 

As she uses the first grade package with her two boys, Kim M of Maryville, TN writes: "Each week our Science B program clearly guided us, with colorful pictures and a demonstration video, in a hands-on science experiment. It was my favorite part about homeschooling this year, and I think it was for my boys as well!" Here, Jay (6) and Wesley (8) eagerly learn about water power by creating their own water wheel with simple household items.
