Our Summer Chore Chart


Someone had asked me if I would share the chore list for my girls that I have for the summer.  

We use My Job Chart.  It is an online program.  Each child has their own account.  The parent enters the jobs for each child, how many points it is worth and if it is a morning or evening job.  Then each day, the girls log onto their account, do their chores and check off the jobs on their chart.  

The following is what their charts look like.  It includes:

The chore.
What day/days the chore is to be completed.  (The day is in ORANGE if it is a chore for that day.)
If it is an AM or PM chore.
How many points they earn for that chore.

To have a guideline as to what ages do certain jobs...

Addie is 11 years old.
Autumn is 9 years old.
Sierra is 7 years old.
Summer is 4 years old.

*The girls play on fast pitch softball teams.  I have "Practice Sports" on their chore chart as a time that they practice pitching, catching and batting with each other each day.

*"Practice combinations" is the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division tables.  They practice with each other.  I ordered each set from Abeka Book.

*"Read book" is a 20 minute time that all girls sit down, I set the timer for 20 minutes and they read a book of their choice.  This enables them also to check off a day on the Summer Reading Program for our local library.
The three older girls take turns reading to Summer during this time.  If I have time, I will read to Summer or she will read her small K-4 reading books to me.

Summer is a great time to give extra responsibilities to children.  With a schedule, it isn't a chore for mom - but a blessing!  And you will never be sorry you taught your child character and hard work.  I promise!

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."  Psalm 27
