Summary

Learning about loop scheduling five years ago was one of the best things that ever happened to my homeschool. Suddenly I was able to schedule my day in such a way that I never stressed about missing a day in the schedule. Other times, I have used block schedules with much success in my Morning Time to be able to enjoy more subjects in a year.

Both types of scheduling are handy and have benefits. Both types also inspire tons of questions from listeners. So today Dawn and I are happy to bring you a podcast all about blocks, loops, and other schedule options for your Morning Time. Enjoy!

0:00.0	This is Your Morning Basket, where we help you bring truth, goodness, and beauty to your homeschool day.
0:17.9	Hi, everyone, and welcome to episode 37 of the Your Morning Basket podcast. I'm Pam Barnhill,
0:24.9	your host, and I am so happy that you are joining me here today. Well, we are starting our fifth
0:31.7	season of Your Morning Basket. I am super excited about this and I hope you are too. As many of you know, I like to
0:40.5	record my podcast in bulk. I'm a busy homeschool mom, and I don't have time to string this
0:46.5	podcasting thing out all year long. So even though this is the first episode of the season,
0:51.7	I have already recorded half of this particular podcast season,
0:56.6	and we have episodes sitting in the wings waiting to be aired. So it's really kind of exciting.
1:03.2	We have talked about morning time with middle schoolers. We've talked to Kendra Fletcher, who is one of the pioneers of morning time. She had
1:15.5	written a book on Circle Time that I read when my oldest, who's now 12, was four. So great
1:22.0	conversation with her about what Circle Time looked like in her family. That's what she called it.
1:27.7	And then I've also already spoken with Jennifer McIntosh, who was already on the podcast, but she's
1:33.6	coming back and speaking to me this time about a mother's morning basket.
1:37.8	So that's what we've got recorded so far.
1:39.7	As you can tell, it is going to be a fabulous season right out of the gate. I have enjoyed these
1:45.6	conversations, learned so much, been inspired so much already, and I can't wait to share them
1:51.0	with you. But for today, our first conversation of the season is with me and the community
1:58.3	manager here at Your Morning Basket, Ms. Dawn Garrett. And Don is coming back on.
2:04.4	Our intention was that the conversation was going to be about different kinds of scheduling you could
2:08.9	use in your morning time. We get a lot of questions about loop scheduling and block scheduling and
2:13.3	other kinds of scheduling you could use. But then, you know, when you get Dawn and I together, we just threw in a couple of bonus
2:19.8	topics as well that we think will be really helpful for you.
