What makes our house run smoother?
The boy in charge of the Kitchen is responsible for helping with ALL dishes during the week, emptying the dishwasher, setting the table, helping to rinse or load dishes after meals. Here's Bug on Kitchen DutyThe boy in charge of the Laundry Room is responsible for getting everyone's clothes washed.(with mom's help as needed) Mondays are mom and dad's clothes, Tuesdays are Bug and Roo's clothes, Wednesdays are Doodle's clothes and a batch of kids whites, and Thursdays and Fridays are for towels, and sheets as needed. Yes- even 4 yr old Roo can help with Laundry.
The Bathroom Boy is responsible for Cleaning the outside of the Toilet each day, cleaning the sink each day, then Monday is Mirrors, Tue- Inside of toilet, Wed- walls, lightswitches doorknobs, etc. Thur- Trash and Tub, Fri is Floors. Here's Doodle taking care of the birds.
#3- Workbox Drawers. I can't say enough for how well the drawers are working for schoolwork. The drawers 1,2,4,6,8,&9 pretty much stay the same each day-(with math, grammar, phonics, copywork, our Unit Study and all the other daily stuff) and 3,5&7 are rotated through with games, science and other fun stuff. On the chart- you'll notice that one boy in in charge of the "school room" Their responsibility is to fill drawers 3,5 and 7. :D This frees me up, I can give them ideas what I want in the drawers.
