How to use it
- Post the job chart where kids can see it from their seats.
- Keep jobs simple and real so kids feel useful.
- Introduce the sheet once, model it, then make it part of a routine so kids know what to expect.
Watch for
Jobs that take kids away from learning. Keep them short.
Talk about it
