Hi and welcome!
We homeschool secularly, but I have a good friend who uses Sonlight and really likes the program.
Do you mind if I ask what state you’re in?
We’re currently in VA and H and I have been discussing whether to give notice for homeschooling DS2 for kindergarten or “opting out” and waiting to give notice until 1st.

I'm in Nebraska. Here you don't have to do anything until the school year the child is 6 on 1/1. So last year it was simple to just to inform the principal and pull him out since he was 5 on 1/1/19. I just filled out the paperwork in June 2019 for the 19-20 school year and we're good to go until time to do the paperwork for the 20-21 school year. Oh hiiiiii. I actually just moved to Wisconsin, but I was in Nebraska before that. Depending on where in the state, I can recommend groups and stuff for you. We were outside of Omaha so I mostly know the Lincoln and Omaha area. Small world.

We were outside of Omaha so I mostly know the Lincoln and Omaha area. Small world. We're in Omaha. 😀. I am in a few of the local homeschool Facebook groups. And going to the NCHEA conference in Lincoln in March. Oh, that’s awesome! I bet we’re in some of the same groups and just didn’t know it lol. I really like the unschoolers group there. I know you said you’re doing a more formal curriculum this year, but I found them to be really easy going and fun. We aren’t total Unschoolers but we lean that way with math and reading being our only curriculum based subjects. Everything else we do interest based/child led. Anyway, welcome! It’s not super active over here. It’s usually me and hawkward talking to each other so come post more with us!
