RESPONSIBILITY Happy Winter! We are in the middle of the winter season; cold, cold, cold. I wanted to let you guys know that in Jenny’s Family Day Care, the kids have a Responsibility Chart to work on every day! Yes – even at a young age they can have responsibilities – but the trick is to make it fun and learning at the same time! Please see below: Hold the Flag - for the Pledge of Allegiance Kitchen Helper - they help clean the table Line Leader – when we go outside in the back or front Get Mats for Nap Time – 2 kids will help hand out the mats Library Books – at reading time and before nap time Water Plants – this responsibility is for all the kids at the end of the week Every Friday “Toys” – Every Friday we empty all the toys out of the toy boxes and put the stuffed animals in a pile near the washing machine. Then they take wipes (baby wipes – which is safe for kids) and they help me wipe down all the toys! There is a lot more we do on a daily/weekly/monthly basis – the way to keep a child learning, busy and active is a Responsibility Chart ! I sometimes reward them at the end of the week, depending on what we work on. |
