After the first week of using Sonlight, I decided that Core A didn't fit well for Bryce. Core A's goal is to give children an overview of ideas, people and places. It doesn't go into depth on topics and that superficiality is what I didn't like. One day was dinosaurs, the next was cave men. After three years of Montessori, Bryce understands his place in the world. I think he is ready to start studying things in more depth.
I contacted Sonlight. They are allowing me to send back Core A and get Core B. Somehow I owe them another $100 in the exchange but I think studying topics in more depth will be good for Bryce. Core B covers the start of world history to the fall of Rome.
I'm still not 100% sold on Sonlight. They've got some great books to read so hopefully this will be a good switch for us.
