Sonlight is not just our curriculum, it's our connection as a family. This was our first year with Sonlight, and let me just say, we LOVE it! Since our children are close in age, it has been such a blessing to combine them into the same Core. It has been so much fun to watch the close bond develop between them over the past year. With quality pieces of literature, the stories come to life! These shared experiences have developed a love of learning that will last a lifetime. And for that, my heart is thankful. Here, they share a favorite book (The Lion Storyteller Bedtime Book, from P4/5) at a favorite park. What better way to spend a summer evening?

We all love Sonlight for so many reasons, but one of the main reasons is that our kids have time to be KIDS! I'm so thankful that with the carefully laid-out schedule and quality Christ-based education, we can get a solid education and still have time for unstructured, creative play. Not only do they have time for academics, but they also have time to explore God's creation firsthand, not just in a book between overscheduled activities. Here, Steven (7, Core B) and Megan (4, Core A) do just that!

Does Sonlight really develop a love for learning? You bet Emma reads in the morning, afternoon and just before bedtime. Here, she just HAD to start a new book ... prior to breakfast, getting dressed or doing her morning chores. How could I say no to this insatiable love for reading that Sonlight has helped develop? Sonlight has helped our first three years of homeschooling be a blessing and success! School is fun, not boring, and the books are so exciting. Eight-year-old Emma is diving into Core C this year as little sister Audrey starts on P3/4.
