Our first "box day"

Although we've been homeschooling since 2006, most of our curriculum has been gathered "bits and pieces", so we've never had the excitement of opening up a box which contained our school year . . . until this year!

The waiting was almost unbearable, so when the box arrived everyone was thrilled!
I had to convince Jaden to stop hugging the box so I could open it and see what was inside!
 Lael was beaming because she knew there were new books inside!
 Even before Jaden and I finished checking to make sure we had all the items on our packing list . . .
 . . . Lael had already found something that caught her eye and was off in another world!
Looks like another exciting, learning-filled year at God Seekers Academy!

(Special thanks to Jaden for his assistance with the photos for this blog post!)

Box days are always fun! Ours is usually divided into a box from here, another from there, but still very exciting.

Enjoy your year with Sonlight! Which core are you doing?

Lael & Jaden, I think you enjoy reading as much as I do! Can't believe it is time to start school again!

Marcy, we are doing Core B+C, which is a one-year world history overview. I have loved our years with Five in a Row, but my kids were needing something different, and I needed help with the planning end of things, so Sonlight seemed to be a perfect fit! We are enjoying it so far! (Of course, we'll still be visiting HSS often because we love lapbooking too much!)
