I'll have these printed out for each kid so they can get to it easily and see it and hopefully learn to self-manage time. Right now they both need a lot of prompting to get things done in a timely manner. I'm debating whether or not I should do the entire month or do it week by week to allow for variances that may occur. Whether or not to build in breaks for illnesses or play-days is a big question too.
I'm sure I'll find out after this week! Eeeek :)
Fingers crossed! I usually do mine week by week because sometimes they get ahead and sometimes we have to make 'electives' wait due to time issues. I don't build in breaks unless I know there's an upcoming field trip or something, but eh, sometimes stuff happens. February and March are going to kill me.
