Completely Copied FHE

I didn't have anything planned for FHE and Shelly came up with a lesson on the value of work
so I just ran with her idea!

I found this chore chart idea and raided my stash of things I have to kids projects to create this:
Since I was running behind, I just put it all together with a glue gun while we talked to the kids about work. We talked about jobs that they could do and what we would do at the end of the week when all the pockets were full.

To make this project I used:
-Construction paper for the letters (I used my cricket to cut them out fast. So easy)
-Colored craft sticks (found those at the dollar store awhile ago to use in another project.)
-Colored foam sheets (also a dollar store find)
-Black felt (I'd use muslin or something else if I were to make this again. The stick are harder to slide in against the felt. I just used it because that what the one in the picture was made of.)
-Glue gun ( had I thought about it earlier in the day I would have just sewn everything together.)
-Magnets (To hang it all on the fridge)
-Black sharpie (wrote the chores on the foam.)

I'm sure the whole thing is pretty self explanatory. If you have any questions on how I put it together feel free to email me. I really like this set up, we've tried paper charts before but didn't have much luck with them. This way is fun and the kids loved that they got to help put it together and sort the sticks for it. I think they feel more apart of the process than me just always telling them what chores I want them to do.

Thanks again Shelly for the great idea! My kids are really into it already. Hannah cleared her cereal bowl this morning without having to be asked and wanted a stick for the dishes.
