Making homeschool decisions easy
Our family has used the Sonlight Curriculum in some fashion for the past seven years. Over the years we’ve moved through a variety of the Sonlight Core programmes, science programmes, and even a few of the language arts programmes. So it was that the 2018 school year found us with a student in Sonlight Core 300. Sonlight lists their levels for varying age ranges, but
I think most parents want their children to memorize things. For me, as a Christian parent, I want my children to “hide God’s word in their heart”. Putting that into reality can be another story though. I have a child with a photographic memory, he can see something done and repeat it with little to no trouble. My other child, not so much.

We were given a copy of the Benjamin Franklin Lap-Pak earlier this year to try out. I was pretty excited about this because, as you probably know, I’m a huge Homeschool in the Woods (HSITW) fan.

For the past year my eldest has been using Bookshark History 6 World History Year 1 of 2. Bookshark is a semi-new company to the homeschooling market.

I was really excited to try out this programme because a certain young man decided that same week it was offered up that he really wanted to learn Latin. When the products arrived I actually started to get a little weak in the knees as I hadn’t realized the
A couple of years ago we enjoyed the lovely Word Spy books. We took our time reading through them and enjoyed every minute of them.

After looking at a few and knowing what I wanted,
I was contacted by Homeschool In The Woods (HSITW) and offered one of their lovely new products, Lap-Paks, to try out in exchange for an honest review. I’m not generally one to accept free products in exchange for reviews {I’ve said that before haven’t I?!} because I often stress over getting the review done or liking the items. ~ Don’t miss the giveaway at the
A couple of years ago now my eldest said that he really loved reading the Bible every day to get us going. But what he really wanted to do was study it and understand everything inside. Of course his words warmed my heart, but they also set me off to look for something that would accommodate our needs. I wanted something that would guide my
