We do breakfast and books.
And it works it goes great and gets the kids in a better mood they always interact with the books during breakfast, its something I had stop doing for a while and it got crazy needless to say its back again…

And this is just what one needs at this time of their lives!

I hope it works on the rainy days, Parker! And I understand about outside time. If we don’t have it, little gets accomplished!

Love the idea to transition from school to play like this. I think it would be more likely to create educational play.

We go outside right after chores and breakfast, and regardless if we are out 15 min or two hours, we still get more schoolwork happily done those days. If I skip outside time first, it is a painful process to get work done. I don’t know how it works as it doesn’t make sense, but reading your same feeling of greater productivity with stories first makes me happy! Now I know what to do on rainy mornings! Or perhaps it is what I need to get people all out of bed and started at the same time. Thanks for sharing!!

Plus I find if i push reading aloud to our afternoon or later in the day we rarely get to it. It’s one time of the day I have a captive audience and I love to take advantage of that!
