The Arrival of Sonlight Core 5!!!

This past Friday, we received our box – THE BOX – our Sonlight Core 5 box.  It was packed to the top and filled with an incredible amount of books and resources for Alexis’ upcoming school year.  I spent a good part of the weekend looking through this rich curriculum. 

In Cores 3 & 4, Alexis "note-booked" many of the books we read – with me planning out how it would be done, and preparing note-booking pages ahead of time.  (Let’s just say that it was A LOT of work!)   For those of you who are familiar with Core 5, imagine my surprise when I opened up the Eastern Hemisphere Explorer packet!!!    I was absolutely THRILLED beyond belief!  It is way better than anything I would have put together.  The format alone will draw interest to a student.  It is colorful and includes places to add pertinent information about locations of study, as well as interesting trivia too.  Here is a Sample Page  that  Sonlight has available on their website.  i think Alexis will not only live it, but will end her 6th grade year with great confidence in her research skills.  I am looking forward to her getting started with it!  Between the research she does with World Book and Teaching Textbooks, Alexis will be using the computer quite a bit for school.  She will be very happy with this, as she LOVES working on the computer!
