The Teacher's Guides and the well-chosen classical books are the key to Sonlight's success. I also love how they recommended other resources, like Explode the Code and Handwriting Without Tears, which work hand-in-hand with the curriculum. With Sonlight, I'm able to work with my kids on a daily basis on a continuum of excellent learning. I see my children's world expanding and it makes me excited to be their teacher. For the first time, I feel confident and comfortable with my decision to home educate. My kids finally enjoy homeschooling and I absolutely love teaching. In their third Sonlight year, John-Paul and Emelie (9 and 8, Core B+C) take their Math outdoors.

Here, Sienna (8) and Hayden (10) study HBL C with their mom outside. Leila says "This photo really captures so much of what we love about homeschooling: the freedom to enjoy the outdoors, quality (and life-changing) books to read together and the gift of more time with our children during their formative years. I love the bond that homeschooling provides us." 

Homeschooling with Sonlight has shown us that there is a wonderful blur in the line between school and play. Whether it's reading to Dolly or doing Math with blocks, learning can be fun. Thank you Sonlight for encouraging us to embrace the joy in the journey! Six-year-old Alex loves to read the Usborne Book of World History (from Cores B and C) in her first year of homeschooling.
