Hello and welcome my name is Kevin I have been homeschooled and stay at home my whole
life and home maker. Today I want to talk about all things living in a lifestyle I find helpful, preventable
realistic and motivational. If you want to talk about something I get into definitely subscribe to my channel I
post twice weekly and I would love to have you here. But let's get into today's video
I'm going to be showing you guys what I have in our homeschool morning basket
I have a three year old toddler boy named Noah J and we began homeschooling about a
year and a half ago. So one thing I would like to incorporate into our homeschool day is a morning basket
And for us that is just a variety of things that we can use throughout the month that
can either be like scissors or a unit sunshade or some of the things that I would add in addition
to our actual homeschool curriculum. So these are pretty much just like things that we can do together with a bond a little
bit, do stuff outside of the household like bracelets and curriculum. Things that are just a little bit more linear, a little bit more fun
So I'm going to be showing you what we have in our December morning basket
Some of these things are going to be of course kick moves and using perfumes and things in
a related way. The first thing that I will show you guys in our morning basket is the smallest number
of things, animals, catnip, coloring books. Because coloring is so much fun for toddlers
I can pretty much just hand him the coloring book or get the sheet out of it and he can just start coloring like while we discuss what we're going to be doing for the day or
while I prepare breakfast for him. And it's really just you know opus of the lesson or you know just that it is a way for
musicians to actually you know just teach you and sit down with them and do a lesson
We don't do this every single day but you know the morning basket is a thing that you
can pull from throughout the month. So we're not doing it every single day
It's pretty much just what we want to grab and do that day in addition to our curriculum
So as this coloring changes it has different shapes in here and it's a perfect way for
him to set his coloring in the wrong. Because it's just like one object on each page
I just keep a key hanger in the basket for him to use as well
Another thing that we have in our morning basket is something that we absolutely do
like to do every single day and that is to have a preschooler's lotion. So this is a one year lotion for preschoolers and it's a pretty nice guy
It basically has one lotion for every single day. It has the months inside of the book and then it also has the days at the top
So depending on what season you're in, you can pretty much get that this might be a
lotion that's devoted to that high school season. So if you want to use this lotion but on some like Thanksgiving time, it has something in
there that is a Christ related about giving stuff. And so it also has memory viable lotions and colors for every single day
So I really love that. It's pretty simple and easy for a pattern of preschooler's address and then of course it also has
something in there for Christmas as well which is who's birthday is it
so it has a color in a viable version as well. So we absolutely love to use this as a favorite
We also have this Christmas devotional activity book for kids and we actually put this one up
at some of those grounds first. So because it is that season, it's the perfect time to put it in the morning basket
It talks about Mary and it talks about Jesus, the birth of Jesus
So this is a Christian devotional activity book for children, don't let them be using this Christmas season
I also like to keep books inside of our morning basket. So right now we have three
We also ran a reindeer, the night before Christmas, and 12 days of Christmas
So these are books I picked up off Amazon. They were only $3 a piece and again they're Christmas season related so it's perfect for our December basket
You can also gift this to like a homeschool mom or to a toddler mom
You can put it in a human form and it will be like a really cute Christmas gift
You can just like stack these together and just tie a little ribbon around it and it will be a really cute Christmas gift
Something that they can put on and use every single year. So I love the richness of this and right now it's still perfect for our morning basket
I know the books are small. The book itself is not too short
I think it's a perfect length and it does resemble the original We Lost the Red Nose reindeer book
This one is 12 days of Christmas. So if you can't, you can read this all in one day or you can read like 12 days before Christmas and read one page
So I think that is what we're going to do. One book that I have is Peekable Morning
This is a favorite of mine because it's a book that Nora can read by herself
All it is is Peekable IT as she needs to be. So because it's so thick it's to read as a kid because we can practice repetition and recognizing
and we include words because we have started set words and we are spelling this whole semester
And we also have The World is Awake for Little Ones. That's me
And I Believe I Can. All of these books you can purchase from Amazon
I believe that I got this book from Hispanic Fest and Gifts
One of the ways we do things together with our library is on special occasions like birthdays or Christmas Day
even at the baby shower, what we do is we ask people to bring a book and a pen and a card
Because we know that cards often get like, you know, crossed away or not very clear
A book is forever and you can actually write like a little message on the inside of this book
saying how to read when you're older or for the parents to read to the child's self
It's not just cards because you can put things in the inside of the cover
But it's a book that those parents forever and can even pass down to their children
So we don't necessarily ask people to bring a K-5 book. Even if it's a used book that they already have in their library or their child has grown proud of
a lot of it wouldn't go to waste if it was gifted to another momma
So definitely consider that if you have like a baby shower, birthday party, anything like that
Ask them to bring books instead of cards. God's Dream is a wonderful book for families and friends to share together
It teaches children how to kill, how to sin, how to treat other people
It's really cute and I think it's a wonderful moment in their lives to remind our children
every once in a while to be nice and treat people, you know, the right way
So I like that one. I Believe I Can is more of like an affirmation book
So also a really great companion for our little ones. It's a good book to remind them that you can do anything that you put your mind to
Another good thing I really like isn't a book but the words are, you know
too much to understand. Like, one sentence pretty much goes over space
I try to go on end time and try to find like an affirmation like card set
Or we can have like a basket of affirmations or something that you can pull from every single day
And we talk about that as well. The Girl is a Race is about being grateful and celebrating the everyday rushes of life
So you can actually remind not only our children but also ourselves to just take a moment
step back and be grateful for all the children around us because our children shouldn't
have to recognize anything around us. And of course, our little children, you know, especially Noah, he should be recognizing
that, I don't know, he wants everything to be cute. He wants to be happy
He wants to be happy. He wants to be happy. He wants to be happy. He wants to be happy
He wants to be happy. He wants to be happy. So, I'm going to show you how to do our homeschool lessons and practices. So, whatever site we're going to be doing during our homeschool lessons for that week
that is the book that I'm going to put inside of our money basket. So, for our current students and beginning of the year school, pre-school, curriculum
you are working on letters A, B, C, and D. So, I have site words A, B, C, and D that we can practice in our money basket as well as what I've compiled in my website
So, I'm going to show you how to do that. So, I'm going to show you how to do that. So, I'm going to show you how to do that
So, I'm going to show you how to do that
So, I'm going to show you how to do that. So, I'm going to show you how to do that. So, I'm going to show you how to do that
