This is Your Morning Basket, where we help you bring truth, goodness, and beauty to your

homeschool day.

Hi, everyone, and welcome to episode 46 of the Your Morning Basket podcast.

I am so happy that you are joining me here today.

Well, today we have something a little bit different.

It's kind of morning time, but it's also kind of a co-op.

It's called elementary lessons and Misty Winkler has been doing this with

her best friend's family for about the past four years. I'm going to let Misty tell you a little

bit about what it entails, but really the idea is she's bringing some of the wonderful

practices of morning time that she would do in her family

and she's actually sharing them with another family instead, kind of dividing some of the

labor of working with different age groups of kids.

Now, your situation might not be exactly the same as Misty's and her friends, but we think that you can still

get some things to contemplate from this conversation and maybe even take some of the

things you learn and apply them to a different kind of morning time of your own. We hope you

enjoy the podcast and we'll get on with it right after this word from our sponsor.

This episode of the Your Morning Basket podcast is brought to you by Classical Academic Press,

publisher of the award-winning writing and rhetoric series, which trains your students in grades

three to nine to write and speak

effectively. Assuming that students learn best by reading excellent whole story examples of literature

and by growing their skills through imitation, the writing and rhetoric method employs fluent reading,

careful listening, models for imitation, and progressive steps.
