We're entering our fourth year with Sonlight, and my boys love learning together more and more. Our boys love their Sonlight books. No matter how much we read to them, they always beg for more. Even with selections I didn't think they'd like, I'll still hear, 'Mommy, don't stop. More!' As an added bonus, even though the boys are almost four years apart, they still enjoy each other's books. This past spring, my 3-year-old would come running whenever he heard us start discussing our science books. 'Mommy, Mommy! Are you reading science? Wait for me!' I love that the whole family—me included—gets excited about what we're learning. Janet took this shot in their backyard this summer on a hot Tennessee morning. Samuel (7) is studying Core C and Science C as Jonathan (3) listens in and explores Sonlight's preschool programs.

Before I switched to Sonlight, I was a stressed-out mom. Especially in the area of science. Sonlight makes it so easy. The IGs lay things out for me and explain them so well that it's easy to follow along and the year flies by. The kids enjoy the Activity Sheets, and they absolutely love watching the experiment DVD and doing the hands-on activities. I like that there are always extra activity suggestions to enhance their learning. Sonlight has allowed me to spend more time enjoying the homeschool experience. Thank you! Here, Annah (5), Micah (10) and Jonah (9) identify the types of rocks they collected. The B family is studying Core B+C and Science C in their first year with Sonlight.

If it weren't for the Sonlight Science Box, experiments might NEVER happen at our house. I confess this is NOT my forte, but between watching Justin on the DVD and the kids clamoring, 'Please, may we try it?!' we actually do manage to squeeze in some hands-on activities in this Type A mom's kitchen! I have to admit it's still not my favorite part of homeschooling, but knowing that my children are learning more about God's world is worth the mess and the effort. Here, little sister Kenna (3) looks on while Arden (6) and Charis (9) create a thermometer during a Science C experiment. The five children of the J family just finished Core C in their fourth year of Sonlight.
