Our homeschool routine is working very well. Before we start school each day, we have Circle Time.
First, the children get their tickets for doing their morning chores. The first person finished with their chores gets two tickets. Everyone else gets one. If they have not finished their chores by 9 AM when school begins, they do not get any tickets. When they finish their curriculum workboxes, they must finish their chores instead of getting to do fun workboxes.
Next, we look at the calendar and the weather. Sometimes, we will sing the Days of the Week Song or the Months of the Year Song.
Then, we form our circle to have a daily devotional. I like to use Little Visits with God
After the devotional, we pray together.
Following prayer, we use the verse of the week and song from Raising Rock Stars by 1+1+1=1.
This is really my most special time with the children all day. I love watching them worship through song and hearing them pray.
Thanks so much for sharing! I don’t have an official HS morning routine and desperately need one. You have some great ideas here!
I really like the ticket idea!
Love the ticket concept and the value placed on morning prayer time/connecting together…fun to catch a glimpse of how your mornings start 🙂
