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 wasn't familiar with Sonlight until a fellow homeschool mom shared how much easier my life could be. We started last year and absolutely love being able to study together, particularly reading as a family. We chose Sonlight F this year because it appeals to our missions mindset, and the Choose Your Own Adventure has been delightful. With Sonlight, my life is much easier, and our school day has shortened considerably!" Now in their second Sonlight year, Ezekiel (13), Joshua (12), Gary (10) and Samuel (9) are pictured having fun with ink, grindstone and rice paper, as they explore Chinese writing." – Renee C of Thornton, CO

Sonlight has made it so easy to work with our schedule, which includes working around Dad's schedule. I love that we can take school with us and have quality family time, no matter when or where that happens to be. Choosing Sonlight as our curriculum has been one of the the best choices we've made. Everything is laid out for us in the fabulous Instructor Guides, which are so easy to follow. I love the literature-based learning and Sonlight Readers are a huge hit with my kids. On this gorgeous evening, they don't even mind reading on the boat. In the family's second Sonlight year, Noah (7), Carsyn (3) and Taylor (9) are finishing up Cores B and D.
