Over the summer, when Target's dollar section was full of school/teacher supplies, I picked up this "classroom card scheduler," though I wasn't sure what I would do with it at the time. So glad I did.
Here is something similar, though it's not $1.
(We also have some days that nothing gets done.)
I keep my own daily chore list/to do list on my clipboard (along with my grocery list, menu plan, school lesson plans).

Kendra at Preschoolers and Peace has a lot of great resources and downloadable charts. (And she has many more kids to organize in her home!) I adapted her Daily Checklist to also include my weekly to do list.
Thanks for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteBTW, You have great handwriting!
We have our boys helping with some basic chores, but they are the same everyday. Thanks for sharing your chore list - it's given me ideas for other things the boys can help with and not be so monotonous everyday. I just need to be okay with the job being done as well as each boy can accomplish it, not to the standard that I hold myself to...ah, that's the clincher! I CAN let go of perfection for all our sakes!!!
ReplyDeleteImpressive! Enjoy the order.
ReplyDeleteSo funny, I was just thinking about making a chart like this for our kids! I meant to get some poster board at Walmart today and forgot!
