Sheer Joy
I simply cannot imagine that public-school children share the same thrill, excitement, and sheer JOY that my children experience when receiving new school books from Sonlight on Box Day!
The Big Box of Books
The entire family slept in this morning and missed the FedEx guy at the back door. But during breakfast, the box was discovered: "MOM! School books are HERE!!!!!"
School Books Are Here
The children could hardly contain themselves! I only wish I hadn't been just as eager and excited. I may have taken better pictures!
Shepard (Age 6) says, "SONLIGHT ROCKS!"
Selah (Age 7): "I can't wait, Mommy! How 'bout I just read one right now?"
Our start date this year is August 23rd. We are doing Core 1 Introduction to World History - Part 1.
Also: Language Arts 1 and 2-Intermediate, Singapore Math, A Reason for Handwriting, and Apologia Science [Botany].
New for us this year: ARTistic Pursuits. (The Supply-Backpack is securely hidden on a top shelf in the laundry room lest anyone including mommy feels the needs to sample supplies before opening the accompanying textbook.)
And Dad CAN'T WAIT to open up the missionary books! ...Pretty sure "George Muller" will be read long before week 26!
THANKS, SONLIGHT!!!!!
