Getting Intentional: Wall of Purpose

Here is what I included to help keep us on track and accountable:

Responsibility Chart:

This is where the whole thing began. I wanted the boys to have some more responsibilities around the house to contribute to our family, and to learn some more skills.

There are all kinds of charts available out there, and I was having kind of a hard time finding just what I thought would work for us. Then I found one at Board Dudes (this is similar to the one I bought, which they don’t have anymore).

I loved that each of us could have our own color. I also liked that the days were in columns that had enough room. Plus, it had some great magnets, and options to add your own items.

The kids have done so great with this system. This one has changed all our lives. For real.

Magnetic Dry Erase Boards:

To go along with our color coordination, the kids each have their own dry erase/magnet board that matches “their” color. Important notes or reminders for school can go here, or something they are proud of accomplishing.

Henson currently has a note of encouragement about an event he worked hard on that he received from his teacher he had in Pre-K that he still adores. He also has been intentionally trying to improve how well he stays inside the lines when coloring, so he was very proud of this picture he completed at school.

 

Simon has his monthly reading log & a dog drawing that The Husband drew for him. (The Husband writes/draws little notes for them to see before they leave for school since they don’t see him before he goes to work. Love that.)
