Homeschooling with Sonlight – 50 States Unit Study
Embracing the spirit of a New Year, my homeschooling journey takes an exciting turn with Sonlight’s Literature-based Christian Curriculum. As a homeschooler who values simplicity, Sonlight’s all-in-one solution is a game-changer. Offering zero-prep, fully planned lessons, and a flexible schedule, it caters to Pre-K thru 12 with a biblical perspective. Our exploration begins with the 50 States Unit Study, a vibrant journey through the USA. Armed with ‘The 50 States’ book and the Instructor’s Guide, Cash and I delve into 36 weeks of captivating lessons, creating our own State History Notebook. The curriculum’s ‘no-prep’ promise holds true, making each week’s activities a breeze. Week One brought a creative twist as Cash designed his State notebook cover, sparking engaging conversations. Week Two, an exploration of Alabama, turned a 15-minute activity into an hour of map study and travel tales. The curriculum’s flexibility allows us to study additional states, enhancing our homeschool experience. Keen to follow our journey?
