Sonlight is our Final Answer!

I know that I must seem like a curriculum schizophrenic (sp?), but we have finally found something that the kids are thriving on AND that I can deal with.  Sonlight!  We bought the whole shebang.  I LOVE that the planning is done for me for the entire year AND that they sent EVERY book that we will need in 4 huge boxes. 

 

We even got the science lab kits!  I mean, everthing is right here for us.  I don't even have to go to the library.  (even though we will anyway)  So, we have our Bible, History, Geography, Read-Alouds, Language, Readers, Spelling, Vocabulary, Math, Science, Music, and Art all covered!!!

Though I enjoy planning and researching it was really burning me out.  With three kiddos I just can't do it all and have a life outside of homeschooling too.  So, Sonlight is such a blessing. 

 

OK, enough of my raving.  I am just so happy and relieved!

 

We are also doing homeschool PE for three hours each week, soccer leagues, Ballet/Tap (for Sarah), Pioneer Club, Children's Choir, and Sunday School.  We have three zoo classes lined up and several plays to attend too.  And, DH let us get annual passes for the zoo and the science museum/planetarium.

 

We have MORE than enough to keep us busy. (especially with my gym membership )

This is our second year with Sonlight and we absolutely LOVE it too! This year I'm doing Core 1 with both of my big boys... While the grammar has not been my favorite, we adore the Science DVD's, the readers and the read-aloud's. This year's focus on missions has been a super-blessing to not only the kids, but ME as well.

HOORAY!!! I like planning too but it is SO nice to have EVERY DAY scheduled out FOR you!

Love,
Marsha

We've used SL for four years, and it's a great curriculum. I hope you and the kids have fun with it and I know you'll be reading many wonderful books this year!

Hey there stranger! Now I know why I haven't seen you around the FIAR boards lately.

I wanted to ask you... after having done FIAR also, how are you likint Sonlight? I've looked and looked at them several times, but just never took the plunge. I also would love to have everything already planned out for me, but I'm so afraid that I would get lazy some days and fall behind then kill us all trying to get caught up. Plus, with already having a 5th grader who has never done Sonlight, I just wouldn't know where to start.

Anyway, I was just curious as to how you are liking it so far.

I MISS YOU GIRLFRIEND!! Hope to hear from you soon! *kiss kiss*
