Key Ideas about Better Together
The practice of Morning Time has been around for a long time, but in recent years, it has taken on new life in the homeschool community. Pam’s new book Better Together: strengthen your family, simplify your homeschool and savor the subjects that matter most is a resource for mom’s who are interested in Morning Time.
There are countless benefits to a Morning Time practice in a homeschool. Some of them include the ability to use Morning Time for combining subjects, building a family culture, strengthening family relationships, building a common vocabulary, character formation and so much more. In Morning Time, mom also has the opportunity to be co-learner with her children.
Morning Time isn’t just for the Classical or Charlotte Mason homeschool. It can also be used in homeschools that are Waldorf, Unschool-y, School at Home, and even as a special time when Dad gets home. If a family feels drawn to the idea of learning together as a family, Morning Time is a perfect way to make that happen.
