Space Themed Morning Basket
As the summer approaches each year we shift into more relaxed homeschooling, because of this the majority of our “planned” learning happens during our morning basket time. Because of that I have restructured how we will do our morning basket for the next few months.
We will focus daily on bible, logic, journal, read aloud, and movement and then Emily will get to choose at least “one more thing” from our basket of fun. So everyday we will get bible, logic, journal, read aloud, movement, and one more thing done. Our theme for the month of August is Space.
What’s in our Space themed morning basket?
The main things we will be using this month are The Story of Astronomy and 100 Facts about Space.
For bible, we will be using the Space Devotions from Indescribable. We love this devotional so much. The way is combines scripture and science is so unique and fun.
For logic, we will be using the Professor Noggin Space, we love these games!
For journal, we will still be using our Q&A a day for kids. This journal is the perfect family keepsake: A place for parents and children to share the evolution of thoughts, feelings, and dreams over the years, or a journal for kids who want to keep a time capsule of their own ideas about the world—whimsical or serious.
For read aloud, we will be reading through I Love You, Micheal Collins.
For movement, we will be using Space themed Cosmic Kids Yoga videos on YouTube.
For language arts, we will be using Funny Fill In Space Adventure (similar to Madlibs) and The Day the Universe Exploded My Head (Poems to take you into Space and Back Again).
