Morning Virtues

In a multi-age homeschool, we can struggle to incorporate the "riches" into our homeschool day in a way that is meaningful to both our 6-year-old and our 17-year-old.

Through the convenience of Morning Virtues and Morning Classics, 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.

The included schedule allows for:

Diligently completing all 28 days in just 4 weeks, making room for other morning time opportunities

Real life! Implement Morning Virtues (or Classics) 3-4 mornings per week and have a full two months to make it through the 28 days before the next volume is available.

What are Morning Classics?

After the completion of our twelve planned Morning Virtues issues, we've decided to shift the "theme" that fuels the planning of each issue. Rather than focusing on a specific virtue and curating books, poetry, hymns, scripture, art, and music around that virtue, we have curated a list of classic literature, art, and music that should meet the heart and minds of all of our children.

The layout, age range, scope, and format will NOT change in anyway. Simply, how we curate the books and highlighted content will shift. For example, in our first issue of Morning Classics, our primary books will be Little House on the Prairie and Silent Thunder: A Civil War Story, coupled with art by Grandma Moses and music by Debussy (with a thematic title "Pioneering). Fantasy features A Wrinkle in Time and Gulliver's Travels with art by Picasso and music by Tchaikovsky. Our Imagination features male protagonists in The Buried Bones Mystery (Clubhouse Mysteries) and Peter Pan, with art by Norman Rockwell and music scores by Stravinsky.

***You'll might also note - if you are a Classical Conversations family - that many of our composers and artists over the 12 planned issues of Morning Classics correlate nicely to the next few CC cycles.
