This is an assignment that the parents are going to love and your child may not love as much.
1. Your Child will need to do a full weeks worth of laundry (3-5 loads).
2. Sort Clothes into appropriate loads. Read label on clothing, and remember the different things we talked about in class as far as sorting laundry goes.
3. Pretreat, wash, dry (in dryer or hang up).
4. Fold and put away.
At the end of a week please log on and leave a remark on how the week went for your child.
How does your Child spend their time during your day. I know that there are many different activities they are involved in along with homework, school, friends, and family responsibilities and not to mention trying to enjoy some down time.
For your Childs assignment have them sit down and write down how they think they spend the 24 hours they have in the day. Have them think through the different things that they are involved in. I know that everyday is not the same but try to think of a day that may be in the middle considering how busy their days are. The next three days they are going to write down everything they do and how long they did it on the worksheet that they were given in class. They need to only record large categories of things such a school instead of listing each class separate. Another examples is practice instead of listing all their different practices. After the three day have them look at their tracking sheet and fit their activities into the categorizes on the time management sheet. Have them bring the sheet to class on the next Monday and we are going to go over how all the members in the class fill their day.
Parents please log on and let me know that your child recorded their activities for three whole days.

Your child’s assignment is to read a Children's book to a child between the ages of 2 and 6. They need to make sure that the book is age appropriate for the age of the child they are reading. If your child does not have a sibling, neighbor, friend, cousin, or someone you know in those ages they can read the children’s book to you as a parent. Here are some of my favorite children's book, but please feel free to read any children’s book your family loves.
After your child is done reading the book please log on and post a remark about how well your child accomplished the assignment and how well they interacted with the child.
1. Prepare a dinner from scratch (no boxed or frozen dinners) If you are making spaghetti you do not have to make your own noodles.

3. Set the table with the correct place setting (talked about in class).
4. Serve Dinner.
5. Clean up and wash all the dishes and pans.
Make sure that while preparing dinner your child make sure that they follow the guidelines on the Myplate website. There is a link on the sidebar to the website if they need a reminder on the guidelines.
