The kids really like their before school charts. I've vamped them up a bit - they love their electronics but do not get them during the school week (other than the occasional TV show in the morning). I also wanted something for after school, just as a reminder of what needs to be done. It's very exhausting to me to come home after a full day of work, see the kitchen and living room in total disarray. We go right to supper, finishing up homework, baseball or gymnastic practice, 20 minutes of reading (per school request), and then shower/bedtime. The kids leave their backpacks where they fall, shoes near the door, clothes all over (seriously why can't they change in their rooms???), etc. They rarely hang up their uniform pants, although many times I will find their dirty uniform shirts hanging up? How weird is that?
I created this chart for what they should be doing after school. I may end up tweaking it after a couple of weeks. The 7:30 p.m. bedtime really isn't that firm, but it's generally when we start getting them ready for bed.
What would you add to an after school chart?
