At this time of the year, I ask my students-who are preschoolers with special needs (and my own kid still living at home, who is 15 years old)- to do a “Spring cleaning.”

In class, students help clean their cubbies and put away their work. They also help clean the tables and chairs.

For my own kids, I let them take an inventory of their gently used clothes and/or toys and gadgets that they don’t use or wear or use and have them donate to goodwill or Salvation Army or friends or anyone they know that will make use of them.

These tasks give the students and big kids organizational skills and gives them ownership, independence, and caring for their things and others.

Setting goals at an early age is important. I have found that my young girls find it more of a game with their chore chart & they actually enjoy it.

Yes! If kids can select their own chores they take more of an interest in it!
