What is a Morning Menu?

To begin, a morning menu is a selection of material that your student practices each day. It’s called a morning menu, because you can slip the pages into a menu sleeve and your kids can use a dry erase marker to practice their pages each day. Furthermore, a morning menu is great for family-style learning OR independent practice in the areas of math, language arts, handwriting, poetry, nature study, Bible, and more.
Materials Needed to Assemble the November Morning Menu:
- Menu Sleeves (pack of four)
- Fine Tip Dry Erase Markers
- November Morning Menu Pages

1. November’s Calendar and Daily Check-in
First, the November calendar and daily check-in pages are a review for kids to practice basic information. These things include name writing, days of the week, today’s date, age, mood, birthday, address, phone number, clock reading, moon phases, weather, seasons, monthly flower, the five senses, and a place for daily gratitude.
There is a lot to choose from, but you can pick and choose which items you would like your child to work on throughout the month. (This section stays somewhat the same throughout for the Morning Menu Series, so they don’t have to master it all this month.)
2. Nature Study
For this month’s nature study component, we will be learning how to identify a few basic leaves, as well as, the life cycle of a turkey. Between labeling bee parts, and learning the bee life-cycle, there will be plenty to get your kids interested in these fascinating things in nature.
Additionally, here are some fun picture book suggestions about leaves and turkeys:

- A Turkey for Thanksgiving by Eve Bunting
- Sharing the Bread: An Old Fashioned Thanksgiving Story by Pat Zietlow MillerÂ
3. Character Trait – Thankfulness
The character trait for the November Morning Menu is thankfulness; Being full of thanks towards someone or something that has blessed you in some way.
There is a daily bible verse and quote, as well as, a full page of gratitude-building activities to try. These activities range from writing a thank you note to making a list of things you are thankful for. Furthermore, each idea is very attainable for kids and will hopefully strengthen their personal habit of thankfulness.
4. Learn How to Write a Thank You Note
As we foster the habit of thankfulness this month, we will also learn how to write a thank you note. From brainstorming content to formatting the note, we will build our letter writing skills while learning to bless others with them as well.
 5. Math Practice
November’s morning menu offers a few different math components to meet the needs of a variety of ages and abilities. Including, number tracing, a number of the day page, as well as, a roll and solve page. Furthermore, an addition and subtraction fluency page is also included.
6. Memory Work
Next, Psalm 34:1-10 is the scripture memory work passage from the Bible for the month. You can focus on one verse or try to memorize the whole passage.
7. Poetry and Handwriting
Poetry and copywork are always included in the morning menus because they really help to build skills in handwriting, vocabulary, grammar, and information retention.
For November’s morning menu, ‘Gratitude’ by Edgar Guest is the featured selection. This beautiful poem exemplifies a life lived with a heart of thankfulness.
