What is it?
Need the *perfect* Morning Time plan? One that's not too overwhelming but not too rigid either?
There are so many "morning time" or "morning basket" plans available to homeschoolers right now that it can be really overwhelming. Three of your favorites shops have joined together to simplify the overwhelm and bring you exactly what you need for a great Charlotte Mason/Classical-inspired family collective for all of your students, first grade through high school!
Through the convenience of Morning Virtues, you'll find that:
1) Children that span 6-18 years can enjoy and benefit from the same beautiful and wholesome living read-alouds.
2) First graders can learn just as much about amazing artists and composers as their older siblings.
3) You only have to follow the convenient schedule to enjoy looping two read-alouds and artist/composer study.
4) The included menus and memory statement cards provide opportunities for all of your children to memorize the same portions of scripture and catechisms but in the right size "chunk" and in the proper format for their age and reading (or pre-reading) ability.
5) A broad age span can all enjoy handicrafts together with small modifications.
6) Your family can grow in beauty, connection, and character through 30-45 minutes together each day.
