A lamp to the day's work
Lessons for five. Work through twelve. One table.
Lamplight is the home school day you already run — assigned work, turned-in pages, and a quiet place for parents to grade — without borrowing a classroom product made for thirty desks.
Morning work
Each child opens a portrait, not a filing cabinet. Today's lessons are waiting — sized for a kindergartner or a teenager.
Turn it in
Read, practice, write, or finish a project. Work is submitted as answers and writing, not a scavenger hunt through email.
Grade in one sitting
Parents see a queue of turned-in work, leave a mark and a note, and award stars. The other parent can join with a code.
Built like a home, not an LMS
Ideas taken from the tools families already steal from.
- Google Classroom's turn-in and grade loop — without the 150-student roster.
- Seesaw's child-simple submit — portraits and PIN, not another Google account for a five-year-old.
- Homeschool Planet's week-at-a-glance — a planner that knows every child by name.
- ClassDojo's encouragement — stars and streaks, not public behavior charts.
- Charlotte Mason nature study — a reading log, a walk, a page in a journal.
Kindergarten through twelve
Early years get large type and one question at a time. High school gets proofs, federalism, and a researched argument.
Two parents
Create the schoolhouse, then share an invite code. Both of you can assign, grade, and keep attendance.
A starter week
Open with a sample family and a week of real lessons already on the table — then rename, add, and make it yours.
