Chore Charts in the Classroom

Here are some Chore Charts used in the Classrooms in our school.

From a Primary Classroom


From our Lower Elementary classroom

From the other Lower Elementary classroom
 In our classroom certain jobs are done on specific days of the week like Laundry.  We are assigned laundry days and times.  Most of the other jobs are done one day a week, usually on Fridays, before car line.
Our job chart is the middle one (the yellow one.) The first levels are paired with a second or third levels to complete the job.  Once everyone is done, the children sit in a circle and we go around each area and a child can give one compliment and one constructive criticism.

Language Cabinets



There are two cabinets of Language Materials in our classroom. 



  • Top Shelf:  Fish bowl with creative writing prompts – Grammar Symbols – Large Grammar Symbols for presentations, basket with parts of speech work for advanced students or 3rd levels,  3ring binder with how to write different types of letters and reports and the grammar symbols chart in front of it, SRA’s Box (SRA is a reading comprehension work.)  The child reads a story and answers questions based on the reading.  The stories start easy, one paragraph, and by the time the children are 2nd levels the stories get longer.
  • Second  Shelf: Grammar work for 1st and 2nd levels– Two baskets with color pencils  and grammar symbol stencils.
  • Third and Fourth shelves  – Sentence Analysis
