A Successful Homeschool Morning Time

What would you love to make more time for in your homeschool? Reading aloud? Poetry? Art and music? Bible study? Those things can be some of the best parts of learning together, but they’re often the first to go when the day gets busy.

Morning time gives those good things a regular place in your homeschool day. It can also simplify teaching when you have several ages at home.

If you’re wondering how to gather everyone together and make it worthwhile, I’d love to help!

What Is Homeschool Morning Time?

Morning time is when you gather your family to learn together. You might read a chapter from a good book, memorize Scripture, enjoy a word puzzle, practice a thinking skill, or introduce a poem.

What you include depends on your family. And despite the name, it doesn’t have to happen in the morning!

You get to decide what belongs in this part of your day, how long it lasts, and when it works best.

That freedom is helpful, but it can leave you with plenty of questions. What can a younger child and a teenager do together? How much should you plan? And what happens when someone would rather be doing anything else?

Let’s Make a Plan for Your Family

In A Successful Homeschool Morning Time, I share practical ideas from years of gathering my own family for learning. This recorded masterclass will help you think through your options and make decisions that fit your household.

During approximately one hour of teaching and 20 minutes of recorded Q&A, I address questions like:

• Is morning time a good fit for my family?
• When should we gather, and how long should it take?
• Does everyone need to participate in everything?
• What can we do together when my kids are different ages?
• Which subjects and activities work well during morning time?
• How can I include kids who have trouble sitting still or aren’t eager to join in?

We spend plenty of time on what to DO during morning time. You’ll have ideas to choose from as you consider the subjects you want to include, the habits you want to build, and the things you’d enjoy sharing with your kids.

Why Morning Time Became a Favorite in Our Homeschool

Morning time was one of the best parts of our homeschool day for years. It helped me teach several ages together and make consistent room for subjects that were otherwise easy to skip.

But I loved it for more than its usefulness. We read, talked, laughed, worshiped, and enjoyed good things together. Those ordinary days helped shape our family’s habits and gave us so much to share.

Even when I was homeschooling only one, we continued morning time. It still brought joy to our day and made parts of homeschooling simpler.

Your Morning Time Can Start Small

You don’t have to include every subject you’ve been meaning to get around to. A few worthwhile choices can give you a lovely place to begin.

Whether you’re trying morning time for the first time or rethinking an approach that hasn’t worked well, this masterclass will help you decide what to try and how to make room for it.

Let’s make morning time a part of your homeschool day you look forward to!
