Chore Charts...

I kind of love making chore/routine charts for my children.  And I change them frequently since life is always changing...plus they are always a little more excited to do their routine when they have a fancy new chart to remind them.  Since we have started school and Brig is in kindergarten and Ellie is in preschool, I will be making a new one again- but I wanted to post our old ones so we could remember what they looked like.

I wish that I could remember where I found the cute little graphics. They are so sweet!

 

The one below is what we used this summer and I really liked it. A few things that are a little different are the glasses...that is "see a need, fill a need" which is a phrase that we are trying to ingrain into our children! And the bubbles at the bottom are for each 15 minutes of reading time they do. Everything below the dark line was optional.

 

These sure didn't solve all of our morning struggles- but I find that when we are consistent they definitely help our home run more orderly and peacefully. Which is always a good thing!
