When Should I Do Morning Time?

In the homeschool circles, we talk about morning time. This is sort of a warm-up for the homeschool day. But with multiple children and studies, you might be thinking, how can I fit it in? With our peaceful morning schedule, it's actually quite easy. Let's take a look.
With our family together curriculum, you teach the whole family together in just 3 lessons per day. You can see how it works - 1 minute video here.
  • 9:00 am - Program 1: Christian Study
  • 10:00 am - Program 2: Enrichment Study
  • 11:00 am - Program 3: Individual Study

If you do morning time at 9:00 am, it will not cramp your schedule and it will bring more peace!

What Is Morning Time?

Morning Time is a warm-up to the daily learning. Take a look at this article: 5 Ideas for Planning Your Morning Time to learn more about what to plan. 

​But, the one thing you don't want to skip is giving your children time to develop a relationship with God.  Do this with morning devotions!

You might also:
  • Say a prayer.
  • Say the pledge.
  • Sing a hymn or national anthem.
  • Recite a poem, prayer, or scripture together or do something else.

When Should I Do Morning Time?

Try 9 am.

Spend 15 minutes each morning with a daily devotional or other selected activities. This is when Charlotte Mason recommended beginning studies each day.

Children can find a cozy corner to read independently or gather together around the kitchen table.

Remember, Program 1: Christian Study takes about 30 minutes, so there is ample time in the first hour for morning time.

Where Should I Write Down My Morning Time Plans?

We include morning time plans in Prep-Level Teacher Guides (Preschool and Kindergarten), however for the family together programs of 1 to 3, we let morning time up to you since families are so varied with different needs.

We suggest two reasources for keeping on track as a homeschool mother and for planning morning time among other things:
  • NEW! homeschool planner in apple blossom
  • NEW! mother's companion volume 1
