Charlotte Mason Inspired Morning Time Plans

Join us for 6 weeks of adventure, daring, and calls to be courageous! Try 6 weeks of Charlotte Mason-inspired morning time with Legendary Swords.

We know that jumping into morning time can be a challenge! Especially if your children are coming from a public or private education background or your family is new to Charlotte Mason ideas and living book based learning.

We want to help you find joy and delight through the wonders of morning time with the simple morning time plans from Everyday Graces Homeschool.

FAQs about Everyday Graces 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. You can read our statement of faith at the bottom of our About page here.
• 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 and up based on Charlotte Mason Principles.
• Who do I contact for support? Me! I am a homeschool mom so please be patient if you contact me in the morning or on the weekend.  Email [email protected] for any issues, questions, or just to say hi!

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! If you love using Legendary Swords morning time plans in your homeschool, you can visit our shop to see the other plans we offer here.
