It’s Back to School! I am trying to start this new school year off right. So, I have created a checklist for kids. Hopefully this checklist will make your mornings go a little smoother. The visual is helpful for most children. It's even helpful for most adults (don't we all need reminders? I do!) This checklist also gives your children a chore/responsibility. It empowers your children that they are in control of their own things and they have a choice to get all of their things they need for school each day.
You can download this Word Doc and make your own for your kids. It was easy and quick to make -- just some quick google images search or you could take actual pictures of the items and upload those to this file.
How to setup:
-Print your chart/checklist
-Laminate your chart/checklist (if you can)
-Post / tape it up by your door or your kid's backpack
So, once it's posted then on the first day of school give your kids a dry erase marker to check off or X out each item that they pack. Then, in the evening when your kids get home for the day, give your kids an eraser to wipe off each item that is unpacked. Then, reuse day after day!
Hope this adds a little extra balance and structure to your life as school is starting back!
