I wanted to let you all know that the chore charts are working so well. I have extended some grace, as we use this period for a teaching time, in terms of maximizing on their chores, versus getting a card done, but the girls have been so motivated. And, they help motivate each other. It has been a huge blessing, because I am not constantly reminding them they need to do their chores. They are just doing them. If I have a specific agenda, like a time gap or a sink full of dishes earlier than dinner, I have asked them to do something, but overall I am trying to let them gauge when they should do it, etc. I did tell them that starting this week, I expect the kitchen to be completely cleaned by the time they go to bed. So, unless someone has a little snack just before bedtime or something there should be nothing in the sink or on the counters and some clean handwashed dishes. I am totally loving the chore charts. I have also come up with a couple more items that I am slowly going to work into the mix, chores that I would like them to do on a regular basis. It's going really well. LOVE IT!!!
