the chore chart that lives on the chalkboard that hangs in the mudroom

 

 

Our newest (we’re determined to try them all!) chore system is Pinterest inspired by this super cute printable.

 

 

I loved the printable…but alas, I’m a bit of an ink scrooge.  So I decided to modify by using what I already have.  The chalkboard was already hanging in the mudroom.  I was using it to write lists and things.  No real purpose.  And nothing that can’t be handled elsewhere.

So I had the kiddos help me clean the bathroom today.  My goal is to have them soon able to fly these tasks solo.  But for now…they need mommy guidance. 

 

 

After we’d thoroughly wiped, scrubbed, swept and restocked everything…

 

 

my daughter turns and thanks me for teaching her how to do this because…

 

 

“It’ll come in very useful someday when I’m a grown up!”

Happy Homeschooling!
