Morning Time 101: A Worshop for Busy Moms

Hello friends. I am Lara and I am the original creator of The Homeschool Garden Morning Time, now Awaken to Delight, and I am here today to talk to you about the virtues of morning time.

Now, morning time is not inherently Charlotte Mason, but Charlotte Mason riches definitely fit really well within a morning time plan. There are many different curriculums out there to choose from or you can make your own. But the point of morning time is one: to make it easier on mom. If you have all your kids of all ages come together for one subject, it makes it easier on you because you only have to teach it once and everybody's on the same page. Older siblings can help younger siblings if it's needed. So there's beauty in that because simplicity is beautiful, friends.

Two: you can also use morning time to share the riches with everyone. Now if you are reading Wordsworth to all of your children and you have everybody from toddlers to high schoolers, I will tell you that everyone will get something out of your poetry time. Poetry is a perfect example of something that the whole family can enjoy together. Now the interesting thing about doing morning time subjects is that your older children and your younger children will all learn from each other. Something that makes your six year old giggle may be something that your 16 year old didn't quite catch. And so all the family learning together is a fantastic benefit of morning time. It really builds those relationships and it helps teach patience to both ends of the spectrum as well.

There are so many benefits to morning time. I truly hope that you will consider using it in your homeschool after we get done discussing it today.

Now for us, I'm using my cheat sheet here. This is my schedule from our morning time.
