Sonlight

We are currently using Sonlight curriculum. We're on the back end of Core B and will start Core C w/K readers in late summer. Core B is the preschool curriculum and it's great, but not as exciting as Core C will be. In Core C we start a reading program, Handwriting w/o Tears, Horizons K Math, and Sonlight Science K... among other things.

I have three children. The two boys will be 6 and 4 in August, and our baby daughter will be 1yo in May. One of the reasons I chose Sonlight is that my two boys can be taught with the same Core. My daughter and her future younger sibling can be on the same Core if we get that far with Sonlight, so the most I'll have to teach is two Cores at a time. I know that's like reading Latin for some, but that's what we're doing. :)

Setting up a new blog... and naming our homeschool.

I've never done this before, and I'll be learning as I go. I hope to have this page completely up and running when we start our new fall semester. My goal is to post new entries every week or so that will include details and pictures of what we do as a homeschool family. My hope is that this will be a great way to keep friends and family informed and included in our lives.... and a great way to document our homeschool experience.

Just today, I named our school. According to our state's Homeschooling Handbook, it's an important thing to do. Now I just have to work on a philosophy of education.... :)

Wisdom House

"We proclaim Christ, admonishing and teaching our children with all wisdom, so that we may present all of our children perfect in Christ. To this end we labor, struggling with all His energy, which so powerfully works in us, their parents. "(Adaptation of Colossians 1:28-29)
