It's incredible to see excitement on the girls' faces as history becomes so much more than just reading a book. As missionaries, we have a special love for the people here. Through Sonlight, our kids are learning about and loving people from all over the world. This year we got to visit many of the sights we learned about in Incas, Aztecs, Mayans. The ruins, temples, llama farm and scenery had meaning because of what we read. We love the world view from high (10,000 ft.) in the Andes Mountains, where we sit and study every morning, and we love the worldview Sonlight brings us every day! Colette (10, Core F) and Solana (8, Core C) have been exploring the world with Sonlight for six years.
 

"Sonlight has helped my girls become self-starters!" writes Erin H of Franklin, TN. "They begin the day excited to pull out my Instructors Guide, Bible and Read-Alouds, and even more excited to check things off when we complete a task. Many times, Abigail (9, HBL B with LA 3 and Science B) was the one pulling out our books for History / Bible / Literature so we could begin our day. She loved the schedule and the ability to look at her own tasks and move forward if I was helping one of her sisters. She didn't need to wait on me!" Here, Abigail, Amelia (2, Pre-K), and Ansleigh (6, HBL B with LA 1 and Science B) have already begun a day's work on their own.

"Everyone looks forward to math time in our house thanks to Sonlight!" writes Sarah Z of Clarkston, GA. "The Math-U-See blocks make it seem more like playing than school work. Orion (7, Math-U-See Primer and HBL A) often talks about Decimal Street while playing with his sisters. The word problems are so creative, we often get caught up in the story! I love that Math-U-See teaches facts in a simple, straightforward way. Even I can follow along!" Pictured, Orion does his math work while Emma (4) plays with the manipulatives.
