With Sonlight, history comes alive! It is not just memorizing and spitting out facts and dates. When our children were enrolled in a private school before we brought them home, they were doing lots of worksheets and 'busy work.' History was chapter after chapter of facts and dates to recite. With Sonlight, history comes alive with stories about real places and people and their adventures. Thank you. In their fourth year of Sonlight, Andrew (15, Core 100), Elizabeth (13, Core 100) and Paul (9, Core D) use their Sonlight Science to research how to make a suitable habitat for the box turtles they found in their yard.

"Thank you Sonlight for keeping our family bonds growing stronger every year," writes Allison H of Bridgeport, WV. "After sending our first child to public kindergarten and disliking the lack of family time due to Dad's untraditional work schedule, we decided to try a year of homeschooling. Five years and five Sonlight programs later we are so glad we decided to dive into Sonlight. I love how our children can learn together. Sonlight has allowed us to strengthen our family bonds while we school and because of that our children enjoy each other." While studying Science D, Seth (11), Hadley (9) and Ruthie (7) were thrilled to watch caterpillars transform, and here they hold the butterflies before they take flight.

"This is our new regular routine," writes Sarah W of Levelland, TX. "When Joseph (8) goes to the schoolroom to do work on Science D, John Luke (3) follows him. Joseph becomes the teacher, and John Luke loves learning from his older brother! Homeschooling is the best thing God has ever led us to." In this picture, Joseph reads The Usborne Mysteries & Marvels of Nature to John Luke from his assignment for the day.
