In reply to Susan Evans. I've noticed that myself. I get so much more done when we have a plan and a structured start to our day. :-)

We love morning time around our house. Our rhythm has been knocked off recently, but we still try to fit one main thing in together in the mornings. Even if we can’t do it all, it’s great to still keep our foot in the door!

In reply to Amy. A chime clock would be lovely! We're still using the Mom holler routine while I find a piece of music to begin the day with. :-)

Great tips! I love your idea about having a starting signal. I bought a chime clock around Christmas time and I have really enjoyed the rhythm it has brought to our homeschool days.

In reply to Amanda. That's a great idea as well, Amanda. My kids loathe being disrupted when they've started on independent work, so I've tried having morning/group time during lunch and in the morning. Each family needs to experiment to find what works best for them! There's no one right solution that works for every homeschooling family. :-)

Great tips! I read another post somewhere to have everything for the morning ready the night before. The morning activities should be independent activities, so it allows you some free time to start your morning as well. Take that time to get in a workout, shower, or cup of coffee.
