Ohhhh, I LOOOOVE when I stumble across a really awesome idea. I get all giddy and excited because not only do I get to put the idea to use, but I also get to share it with anyone who will listen! Today's idea comes from a Special Education teacher at the school I work at. There is a student in my class that has struggled every day since the beginning of school in August to remember how to start class - the routines and procedures that have been in place since Day 1. Now, this student is completely and utterly lovable, but we are wanting him to get to a point where he is more independent on getting started with each class (because they rotate through 3 different teachers). Up until this point, this student would just sit there at his desk and be afraid to ask "What am I supposed to be doing?" So, in pops that Special Education teacher like a Fairy Godmother! I was referred to her by my Principal because she has worked with students like this in the past and has many, many, many ideas and strategies to help them manage their days. The strategy that we decided on for my little kiddo is a "How to Start Class" folder that he will carry with him to each of his teacher's classes. There are 4 parts to our students' days at my school, so she broke it down in to 4 sections: 1. How to start.... My Morning - arriving at school and listening to announcements 2. How to start....My Writing/Social Studies Class 3. How to start....My Reading/Science Class 4. How to start....My Math Class She put the task lists in order from the beginning to the end of his day and in order of what he's supposed to do first, second, third, etc etc in each class. Wondering what it looks like??? OBSERVE.... The COOLEST part about this little folder is that it is made with Velcro, which makes any task list immediately better! There are 2 lines of Velcro. If his task is sitting on the left line of Velcro, it is a "To Do," and as soon as he has finished that task, he moves it over to the line of Velcro on the right, which is aptly named the "Done" column. What I love even more about this idea is that I am able to share it with his mom with the hope that she can find a way to tweak it to her needs for all of his routines at home. She and I have had many talks this year about what a struggle it is to get him to follow a morning routine. She's created checklists that hang on the wall, she's done picture checklists, she's done verbal lists - calling it off 1 item at a time. Basically, she's done everything she could think of and was, ultimately, getting nowhere. My hope is that she can create something like this for him at home so that there is a sense of consistency for what to look for to know what to do. I also let her know that, due to our students moving in to Middle School next year, it would be a great tool for her to tweak and re-create for an increased number of teachers and, hopefully, help him achieve a higher level of independence. I'm hearing Velcro rip somewhere...and it's a beautiful thing, the craft rookie

I am a chart/list person. I LOVE CHECKLISTS!!!! I always have. I guess that's why I love cleaning and being organized. So, my oldest little man is 2 1/2 now. I decided it's time for us to get him chart/list loving too. He already does chores. He cleans up his own toys, clears the dishes off the table (whether you are done or not) and helps with the laundry (he puts the clothes in the washer, knows which buttons need to be pushed to get the load washed and switches the clothes from the washer to the dryer and starts that.) So, I went in search of some cute charts that would help him stay on task!

After choosing to homeschool, several realities and questions began to surface about the upcoming school year. Where will we do school? In the kitchen? Make a school room? What will our day look like? What will I do with them ALL DAY!? What if we all hate each other by Thanksgiving? What kind of structure needs to be put into place so I don't become a bitter, haggard woman? How will my house stay clean with the kids home all day? When will I have time to teach, clean, cook, and do laundry? I knew our family would do best with some structure, and where I needed the most help was with discipline. My former method of discipline (becoming frustrated and yelling threats about hell) not only wouldn't work, it never did. Like the verse on the chalkboard above, the word of Christ was not dwelling in me richly, and I was most certainly not singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. I had the admonishment part down, except that it was not in wisdom or with thankfulness in my heart. God was revealing to me some sin in my life in regards to mothering. I was being selfish, discontent, impatient, angry, no self-control, basically the opposite of all of the fruit of the spirit. What struck me hardest was realizing what example I was being to my daughter. Was the way I was parenting encouraging Addie to one day want to be a mom? Would she know that God created motherhood to be a joy and not a burden? So if mothering wasn't a joy, where did I go wrong? He showed me that places where I would get frustrated are a good place to start changing. Why was I getting angry when the kids were disobedient? Why did my heart want revenge in discipline? I realized my sin came from the attitude of "you have gone against MY rules and here's what I have to say about it" when it should have been "you have gone against God's rules and let's see what He has to say about it". To help me in the heat of the moment, I wanted to have a list of common offenses laid out with scripture verses that guided what our actions should be and consequences that fit the crime all ready agreed upon so I could have guidance when my patience was thin. Tony and I spent a weekend working this out and came up with a discipline chart. We had it printed and it is posted in our kitchen. We spent several meal times going over it with the kids so we were all clear on what was expected, and what they could expect if they disobeyed. I must say, when we are consistent with sticking to our chart, mothering is more joyful. My teaching and admonishing was coming from wisdom.To take the time and think about how our actions were wrong and what God says about it in His Word and taking the time to give our kids the gospel and grace goes so much farther than "why can't you ever pick up your toys when I ask you to!" Here's one example from the chart: Complaining/Whining - Philippians 2:14-Do all things without grumbling or questioning Psalm 19:14-Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. Additional work / don't receive what was whined for The way this plays out in our life is let's say Isaiah colors on Addie's doll. It is brought to my attention, I establish the facts, and I lead Isaiah over to the chart. I would ask, "Do you know what you did wrong?" If they pretend to not know, I will help them know that they were abusing someone else's property. Then I would say, "Let's see what the Bible says about this. It says in Matthew that whatever you wish others would do to you, you should do to them. Do you wish Addie would color on your truck like you colored on her doll? Do you think coloring on her doll was right?" Once they come to the point of genuine repentance an apology would be made and the consequence is that one of Isaiah's favorite toys gets to go to Addie for the day with the hopes from Isaiah that she will treat it better than he treated her doll. And next time he may make a better choice before wanting to color on her doll. Some of the consequences make us laugh because they feel corny for an 11 year old, but it's great because it causes him to change his attitude quickly. Instead of causing trouble with his sister, they are now giggling at holding hands and speaking kind words to each other. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've had some inquiries about purchasing these charts.
