Responsabilities

This year at CAC we have plenty of new activities: We write a letter to our parents every Thursday explaining how our week was, we have begun the "Cairo Camel" thing, and we have also started a "responsability calendar".

Responsabilities are not only for adults. They are all the time talking about that, but most of the times it sounds more like an excuse for not doing something... In any case, being responsible is also very important for kids, and this is what our teacher (and our parents) is teaching us these days.

So every month we will have a "Responsability Calendar" such as the one below.

We have to follow 5 simple rules:

1. We get credit for only one responsability activity per day (but we can do as many as we like!).
2. When we finis an activity, one of the parents should sign the square.
3. We can do the same square up to 3 times.
4. When we have 20 signatures, we have to bring the Responsability Calendar to our teacher for a certificate.
5. The Responsability Calendar is due the last day of the month.

So far I have done four activities, one per day, and the one I liked most was doing my own snack and lunch for school. Even if I don't get credit, I use to do other activities every day, such as going to bed at bedtime with no problems, help mom and dad clean up the dinner, hold a grownup's hand when crossing the street, ...

I have this list on the fridge, and when I get home from school, I choose an activity from the list, and do it. It is a great way for learning how to be responsible.
