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 being able to order a complete Core curriculum and know that all the materials I need will be delivered right to my door. The Instructors Guide takes the work out of planning. Here, Jeremiah (8) and Nathaniel (5) enjoy a day of school outdoors.  

"For the first time, our school for missionary kids is using Sonlight, though several of our families have used it personally," writes Stephanie M from Lebanon, TN. "We have seen improvements in reading comprehension, spelling and grammar, as well as an increased love for stories and stoytelling in our kids this year. We look forward to continuing to use Sonlight on our mission station in Papua New Guinea!"
