For as long as I can remember I've been a list maker. I love it! I love the motivation of seeing what is left to accomplish and the feeling of crossing things off. My kiddos seem to like them as well. I came up with a new way to do their lists that has been working very well for us.
I picked up from Dollar Tree (of course!) these clear acrylic sign holders. Then, I typed up a paper (with cute pictures of them, too) with all the things they would accomplish on a normal school day. I put everything from brushing teeth and chores, to each individual subject. I also put some blanks on the bottom for me to write in anything extra the day may hold. When they finish, they take a write and wipe marker and mark it off! Success! They are enjoying the same sense of accomplishment that I get by seeing projects completed. And we are being very diligent in the process. That's a double win!
It's great to teach the young ones some good routines for how to keep on track. This will be so helpful to them in future. ♥
