Summer is upon us and that means I go from being a full time working mama to a.... full time (working) mama. The only difference is now I can devote all time and energy to three little ladies instead of 73 ladies and gentlemen. :) Do not be fooled into thinking this job is any easier than when I'm teaching. Sometimes it is even MORE exhausting than working during the school year. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these three little ladies, but WHEW... they can be a handful.
In order to help myself out this summer, we are starting a Rewards, punch card system. I have made cards that look like this to ensure our successful, less stressful summer. :)
This is just one of the cards we will be using. Once the girls have earned all 18 punches they will get to choose a reward from a list that they've come up with. Then, we will start a new card. So, so, so excited for this! This morning our two youngest were up, dressed, teeth brushed and room cleaned by 6:30 am!!!!! All to earn 1 punch! :) SUCCESS!
I'm thinking about printing them on cardstock and using a hold puncher, but you could print them on regular paper and have your little color in the circles. Good practice for our 3 year old. You could also laminate them. :)

Wishing you a summer of rewards!
From our
BROWN eyes to yours.......
