Morning Time

 

 

I started something new this year called Morning Time.

It may not be new to some of you and actually it's something that I used to do when I taught Kindergarten, but I called it Circle Time.

 

However, I think Morning Time in homeschool has much more to it.

 

I probably started off doing too much so we are doing much less now, but basically we learn Bible verses, poems, and our character value (Character Concepts).

 

 

 

I also read a devotion, a Bible story or our science book (Come and See).

 

We light a candle, sing (and dance), pray and try to cultivate what Pam Barnhill has modeled in her podcast and ebook- Truth, Goodness and Beauty.

 

I first heard about Morning Time from Sarah at Read Aloud Revival.

Pam Barnhill from Ed Snapshots has expounded on this idea with an ebook with a short video course on how to set up a notebook and also an excellent podcast with inspirational guests and free printables.

 

Here are a few videos of the poems my kids memorized this year:

 

My 7 year old son learned My Shadow by Robert Louis Stevenson

 

My 4 year old learned Abraham Lincoln (Traditional)

So, we are enjoying adding this as part of our day. 
I will add things each year and I look forward to continuing on with our Morning Time.

There are so many ideas that I have gleaned to how I want to craft our Morning Time, but I'm taking it slowly.
