Notes: After school (We have 5 other children ages 9 to 14 who come in for the school day) – Each child pulls one 3X5 card with a chore to do. These include…. pushing in chairs, straightening the book shelf, straightening computer tables, wiping off tables, wiping down chairs, taking out garbage, vacuuming, spider webs down, putting up tomorrow’s date on the board, and so forth. All children help with a whole house pick up each evening. Once a week, each child helps with meal prep. The children feed animals twice a day. We have cows, pigeons, chickens, dogs, and a cat.
