"I knew enough was enough of a computer-based curriculum when my girl got very upset one Sunday evening and said, 'I don't want it to be Monday because I don't want to do classes.' My husband and I wanted our kids to love learning, so I took the challenge and switched to Sonlight! After a week of having started with Sonlight, Gracia asked me when vacation was going to be over....  We were having so much fun that she hadn't realized school was back already!" Here, Maria (mom), Esteban (1) and Gracia (6, HBL B) have fun learning with The Usborne World of Animals from Science B.

This summer my children have been saying 'Mom, can we start school? We are tired of only having playing to do. So we started Science B and the Read-Alouds from P4/5 early. They love listening together and can't wait to find out more about the subjects in the books. They ask many questions that I don't know the answers to so we look up and learn together. I love that they want to know more! Here, Grace (8) reads to Evelyn (5) and Levi (3). They're studying Core P4/5 and Core B in their third year of homeschooling and second year of Sonlight.

This is Aaron, caught in the act of getting into the new Sonlight books before I could organize them and put them down lower for his use. After Box Day and letting the boys look through the books for a few days, I put the new books on the highest shelf of our bookcase until I could get myself ready for school. But the science books kept mysteriously disappearing. Aaron was getting up to the top shelf and helping himself – he just couldn't wait for school to start to read his science books. Sonlight has certainly inspired a love of learning in our house! Here, 6-year-old Aaron smiles for the camera as he is caught red-handed with Animals from Science B. He's in his fourth year of Sonlight.
