I am a convert

We are simply devouring books here at our house.

I cannot recommend Sonlight high enough. We are doing Core 1&2, and it is a blast. I am learning as much as my kids!

We are using Saxon Math 2 (which has a bunch of review, so we are working fast through the first half of the book….and you were right Chris, the teachers manual is a waste of time…..overly repetitive), Handwriting Without Tears, Explode the Code for spelling and review, and Apologia Science (we are doing the Astronomy)….oh, and Spanish.

Things are pretty relaxed around here, as you can see from my last post. We follow the schedule somewhat…..but not every day. That is the beauty of Sonlight. You can pretty much do your own thing with it.

Even with the relaxing, we are doing so very much.

Quinn reads his chapter book outloud to us in the morning on the way to take the big kids to school, and when we return home, the little ones play for a bit. He is reading a book each day, so we should be finished with the entire year of Grade 2 readers by next Friday, and then we will start on the Grade 3-5 Advanced, which I know will take much longer.

We are pretty much done by 11am and have the rest of the day to play and explore.

Which leaves me to wonder what the heck they do at school with over 7 hours????
