"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.

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.
