We are enjoying following along with Happy Hymnody to learn a new hymn each month. How Doth the Little Busy Bee by Isaac Watts Reggae in the Fields by Elizabeth Mitchell We read one each day for a week, and by the end of the week she usually has it memorized. I always have a few options for my daughter, but she often finds a verse on her own. If you are new to storytelling, I highly recommend this book! It has a great selection of sweet stories for preschoolers based on seasons and festival celebrations.Īfter our picture books, we do our memory work. Most of our stories begin with ideas from Tell Me a Story, but I usually end up adding to them. Then we usually read one or two picture books, or I tell a seasonal story.
We start our read aloud with a moral lesson- a reading from the Jesus Storybook Bible, a Psalm, a proverb, or a fable from The Aesop For Children.

This is our favorite yoga resource ever! The CD has lots of great music and instructional yoga stories to learn different poses. If you have Amazon Prime, you have access to tons of free music including this awesome album. Probably half of the time, we do a sun salutation along to Kira Wiley’s Dance for the Sun. Next we do yoga or some kind of movement. We all shake hands at the end of the verse as a way to practice a firm handshake- the kids love this! Good morning to you and good morning to me! Good morning dear flowers and birds in the tree, Good morning resting stones and beasts on the run,
We start every morning time with our good morning song, Good Morning Dear Earth.įriends in our co-op taught us a slightly different version that my kids love: Both philosophies value teaching the whole child with an emphasis on the natural world.
In my mind, there is a lot of overlap between Charlotte Mason and Waldorf in the early years. While we are a mostly Charlotte Mason-inspired family, our morning time draws on some elements from the Waldorf philosophy as well. We try to take our morning time outside whenever possible to take advantage of the wonderful fresh air while we are learning. At this time, my children are 6 years old and in first grade or form 1b, 3 years old, and 16 months old. The basics of our morning time remain the same all year, but our song selections, verses, and read alouds usually reflect the current season or my children’s current interests. Spring is here! Our morning time is an important part of our family rhythm that ebbs and flows with the seasons.
