I realized that in order to have more freedom in our schooling I wanted my boys to carry more responsibility around the house. Then it was brought to my attention that Big E was capable of doing more than we were giving him credit for! After lots of research into age appropriate chores I came up with this list. So far its working out great!!
We are still working on our bathroom cleaning duties as those tasks take a lot more training. They are color coded with our family colors, which is a new system we started. That helps Little N know where his chores are. :) We are starting young too, Baby Z has "chore" to do as well. He is helping clean up toys, although not too much yet, hopefully in the next few months he will begin to get it more.
You can also notice that I have them divided up into Morning, Afternoon and Evening chores, this helps us to break up our day a little with not having a bunch of chores at one time.
