What are the benefits of using Morning Menus in preschool homeschool?
Homeschool preschool morning menus are powerful tools and a fun educational resource.
Here are a few benefits of using a morning time menu at home and in the classroom:
- protect your family culture and morning routine by coming together to learn in a gentle and loving environment (right in your own living room or learning space)
- lay a foundation for reading and writing skills
- develop language skills in a interactive and fun way
- learn the letters of the alphabet and the corresponding words
- improve memory skills by learning and reviewing the alphabet and corresponding words
- learn farm vocabulary and build a large word bank to improve communication skills
- improve letter recognition
- practice fine motor skills with the form and shape pages
- learn letter sounds
- increase your child’s independence with their school by establishing morning menus in their morning meeting
- practice writing their names, address, and phone numbers
- recognize and observe the changes of the seasons, months, and days
How can I use a morning menu with my preschooler?
Morning menus provide excellent learning opportunities for young learners. There are lots of ways to use these homeschool preschool morning menu printouts.
For simplicity, I insert selected printouts in our menu covers the night before and include dry erase markers, an eraser (or paper towel), a small tub of play-doh, and a manipulative such as craft pom-poms, rocks, or other fun object to use on the form it/shape it pages. This helps us start our homeschool day peacefully and mama is ready to roll first thing.
Here are a few ways to use the morning menu printables at home and in the classroom:
- begin by encouraging your child to practice their name on the first page (I write in pencil dotted letters for younger kids who are still learning)
- practice memory work
- follow along lyrics of a folk song or hymn
- sing the alphabet while your child points to each letter to improve letter recognition
- ask your child to point to the letter and repeat the sound
- Trace the letters using a dry-erase maker and make the letter shape with sticks, blades of grass, play dough, etc.
- outline the letters with fun objects, such as pom poms, rocks, coins, various other craft supplies, handmade pieces of play dough, or nature finds.
And, this is just to get us started. 🙂
Add these activities to lesson plans, circle time (small group), hands-on learning time, field trip, farm activities, and farm unit for a perfect way to enhance your kids or students language development.
What can I include in morning time binder or morning menu?
- lyrics of folk songs
- bible verses and bible readings
- facts and printouts for art study and composer study
- outlines and facts for nature study
- vocbulary words
- prewriting skills
- sight words
- months of the year, days of the week
- books of the bible
- memory work
- copy work
- activities to accompany read alouds
- visual schedule for the full day or morning time subjects
This list is just skimming the surface. As I develop these printouts for my kiddos, I will share them in the subscriber library. I hope to add many holiday theme bundles!
