Getting the School Supplies Ready...

Besides shopping  for school supplies, I have been working hard to get my K/1sties ready & organized for the year.   I have made them their calendar for the year in Enlish/Spanish and now I have made their "chore charts".

All of this will go into a bound notebook with a few fun activity sheets. Here is what these handy dandy chore charts look like:

My kids cross off their "chores" and I sign them. 

They are given rewards for finishing some or all of their chores at the end of the day and/or week.  ( i.e. computer time, a special treat, a special outing, a movie, etc.) 

 If you think you can use these for your kiddos, go ahead and hop on over to my store to scoop them up. There are a few varieties to choose from. They are FREE!  I would love it if you left a comment or two letting me know how you might use them!

Well that's all for now...Hope all your school supplies are coming together!

I am totally loving my new bows I just made for my clip charts and months of the year:) The clip chart below is used to clip on what season we are in, what the weather is outside, and what we are doing in math for the week.  I made the cutest clips (clothespins)...I still need to take pictures and post soon - 1 more thing added to  my list!   (click on the pictures to grab the calendar/clip chart in my store!)

Here are our months of the year in Spanish and  English, on a  pillar!
