It’s not the end of our first year homeschooling, and it’s not yet the beginning of our second, but I felt that we needed something more for our home education experience. We’ve been having a great time doing school at home, but things were falling through the cracks of busy days and life with three boys…and I knew that we could be enjoying it far more. We want to give the boys a feast of wonderful ideas and books and that just wasn’t happening on my own. I didn’t want to make a commitment to a curriculum until we got a taste of homeschooling and a feel for where we wanted to go with our family’s home education experience. Two weeks ago after much prayer and study I was ready to make that commitment and Peter was willing to make the investment, so we ordered Sonlight. It is a literature based program that I can tailor to meet our family’s needs. The package we purchased works for Seth’s kindergarten as well as for Jerome’s second grade. The day we received our boxes and unpacked them was a fun day, and every day since then has been a wonderfully interesting, fun, and relaxed school day! I am thrilled with where we are right now in our homeschooling journey, and I wanted to share some of our excitement with you.

We used that curriculum at one point in our home schooling life. Although we didn’t continue with it, we kept all the books and I agree that they are fun books to read. With Peter, I am thinking of doing lots of lap books with him. I might make the first few books for him and when he is old enough I will let him make his own (with my supervisions on the cuttings, of course. :)) I am so grateful to have yet another chance to do “school” with little ones. I felt as though I have missed a lot with my other three big kids. The Lord is good.
BTW, we love all of the fun ideas the boys could get out from shipping boxes. It happened over here, too, whenever we got a shipping box that’s big enough to make a house or fort or whatever…
