Chore Board for Zane

Put a new dry erase board up in Zane's room.  It is a Mon-Sunday chart with a section for notes on the side.  In the notes section I listed things he needs to do every night before he goes to bed.  During the week are his activities, homework and reading time and special events.  I think it has really helped him get his chores done at night and be more involved in what is going on from day to day.  Now if we can only keep his baby sister from marking on it and erasing stuff!  It may have to go up higher on the wall.  We will see.

Blogger: Time to Organize-Rebecca - Configure Blog Posts

I have been organizing my daughters room again. She has a small space and getting everything to fit has been a challenge. I have used plasic shoe boxes for cards, small toys and game pieces. These boxes are clear and I have labeled each one. There is a tall bookshelf in her room which holds her books(up high), puzzles and pictures. Getting her to only bring out a couple things at a time from her room is the biggest problem. She likes to bring everything out at one time! I have put big puzzles, more boxes and a white washtub with electronic toys up on the high shelf in her closet. My goal is to rotate out toys and such every week.
