Was that title long enough for you? I officially go back to work TODAY. Uggg. (Actually, I do like my job but who wants to give up the freedom of summer?) Anyway, I did a couple of things this week to wrap up summer.

This is similar to our type but isn't our bed. Source |
With this monumental change, I wanted to set up our routines. I looked at a bunch of routine charts on Pinterest but they weren't EXACTLY our routine. So I made my own charts.
Cute, simple and hopefully effective. She can already "read" them so I call that a success.
While I was at it, I printed this chart to make a simple cleaning routine for me.
It's from Clean Mama. I'm planning on keeping it in my planner.
I started watching what I ate with SparkPeople. I've lost 2 (probably not real) pounds. Basically, I've been eating bunches of fruits and veggies.
Finally, I tried to soak up every bit of time with my daughter. We went to Chuck E. Cheese, listened at storytime, saw some animals, played doctor, and read lots of books. We learned a new dance!
Now that I've passed that ANNOYING song on, go check out some other Five for Friday blogs at Doodle Bugs Teaching.
I LOVE your routines charts!
ReplyDeleteThanks Day 2 and she's all about them.

I need to make morning and night checklists like that for myself... :) Always enjoy reading your posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I also need morning and night checklists for myself. Maybe that will be my Monday Made It. :)

Good for you getting it all together before school starts. Organizing is the key. Like the cleaning checklist... Having a list does not a good housekeeper make, though in my case :P See you later. Kathleen
ReplyDeleteWhat? The list won't clean my house for me? I am experiencing this first hand.
DeleteTotally understand the new bed! Our daughter started climbing out of her crib at about 2 years of age so she was moved into the bed with her brother. For some reason she would stay in his bed, but not her own. That worked for a few months and then we transitioned into her own real bed! Thanks for sharing!

Teachers Are Terrific!
I hope this toddler bed works for awhile-- I haven't even looked at "real" beds. I think we will do a twin size bed so her toddler bed won't transition to that. I'm hoping that's at least a year down the road.

Thanks for sharing your charts and routines. I need to do something similar for myself before I start back on Monday. Hope you have a great school year!
ReplyDeleteLucky you to have an extra day. Enjoy your weekend!
DeleteYour charts are great. Way to work in early literacy skills. Wish I could get my 2 year to use the potty! Two kids in diapers is killing me. Is she staying in her bed? I had to camp out in the hallway for a while, but it's better now.
