FAQs about Legendary Swords Morning Time Plans
Do I need to purchase other programs to complete these plans? No! Everything you need is included. There are NO other program purchases required.
Is this a faith-based resource? Yes! We include classic hymns, poems, readings, and copywork that contain Christian content. Our faith is the foundation of our home and homeschool and the cornerstone of the Charlotte Mason methodology and it would be difficult to create a product that did not reflect that.
Will this work for my whole family? We have created this morning time as a resource to allow all ages to learn together for a short time each day. The observations, expectations, and quality of work accomplished by your children will depend on their age and ability level. Little learners love to join in with older siblings but we do write our plans for children at least age 6 based on Charlotte Mason Principles.
Morning Time is a great way to reset your homeschool. It's also a good practice to keep up through the summer or other breaks so there is no "slide" in learning.
These resources have been a blessing to our family and we pray that this set of plans will be a blessing to yours!
