I don't think I can ever praise Sonlight highly enough for what it has done to transform our schooling into something we can all be excited about. The love for reading it has cultivated in my girls makes me overjoyed. This year we're especially excited to be in the Eastern Hemisphere core. The idea of learning about and praying through the 10/40 window of those unreached with the gospel has us all excited. We have so many good books just sitting on the shelf waiting for us to read that I know it will be another great year.

Sonlight F - Eastern Hemisphere - History, Bible, and Literature. Look at all the amazing books!!! There are quite a few missionary stories this year which we all LOVE, and also quite a few of the girls readers which I can't wait to read as well.
NOEO Chemistry 2 - So many fun experiments to do this year. Not pictured is the core science book the Science Encyclopedia that we will use from last year.
Math-U-See - Zeta. Fractions went so smoothly last year. I kept waiting to get stuck and have them feel defeated or complain about how hard it was. Nope, smooth sailing thanks to this amazing program and it's mastery approach to math. Hoping we have another great year with those pesky decimals and percents.
Language Arts this year is pretty much staying the same though we've dropped handwriting and finished writing with ease. I'm really excited about our new Grammar program which is a continuation of First Language Lessons but for middle school. It uses the same definitions and examples but goes more in depth. We also decided to skip Essentials in Writing 6 and jump straight into 7. Since we have such a good grammar program we found all the worksheets for the first half of the year in Essentials to be a bit too easy and boring so 7 will remove much of that review and jump into writing assignments much earlier. We still love All About Spelling so we'll continue on with that.
Just a few of our electives this year. We have absolutely loved going though Bible Study Guide for All Ages. We're now half way through the entire Bible with 2 years left. We do it 3 days a week and then Case for Kids will be 1 day a week, and on Friday's the girls will do a lesson each week in Kay Arthur's How to Study Your Bible for Kids. We're still doing Logic, ASL, Art Classes, and Piano Lessons.
