Do you have a special morning time in your homeschool? Morning time can be a tough time to get going..I can attest. Clearly a morning routine serves everyone best by starting the day off in a predictable way. When you have multiple children or kids of all ages, morning time can be a fun time that everyone can look forward to. You can even enjoy your coffee and cozy up in your jammies!
I admit, I have not incorporated a morning basket into our homeschool yet, but I plan to, which is where all these links come from – my own research into it. I have a terrible habit of waking up and checking my email first and I want to incorporate a special morning time into our homeschool routine.
A morning in which a child receives no new ideas is a morning wasted. – Charlotte Mason
