Homeschool Mottos

We recite mottos during our Morning Time.I think the first place I encountered the idea was when listening to ACCS teacher training audio (back before there were CiRCE conferences or podcasts). The elementary classes of Logos School, at least back in the old days, had mottos they recited daily that then the teacher could call to mind when they were relevant.As a family, we already had a few little sayings – ways to keep a frequent command familiar, memorable, and pithy.Over the years I’ve collected mottos, adding to and subtracting from our repertoire, but finally settling down on a select few for this year.This year, these mottos are behind the daily tab of our binder, and most days we go over them quickly. We alternate this selection with a selection of pithy Shakespearean proverbs each term.
