You'll love Sonlight! We've done cores PreK, K, 1 and 3.
This sounds great!! I am homeschooling a preschooler and really looking forward to getting started. I just picked up Handwritting Without Tears and I am excited about using it! Good luck!
Thank you so much for the informative post! My son is 30 1/2 months and I am currently looking at all my options for our Pk curriculum. Look forward to seeing how things go!
Enjoy your Sonlight! [smile]

This was a genius idea of yours. Had to say. You were right that interest was there. We are up to over 100 blogs in the Blog Hop now!
I am so enjoying this blog hop! I have used or am using several of the things you listed.
I'll be pulling S, S, R & W out of the attic for my soon to be five year old. He's so excited!
