I was inspired by a friend and a fellow homeschooler, Martianne Stanger. I read Martianne's blog where
I got the inspiration for this.
We
called ours "Habits After Waking-up".
Who wants their kids to learn independence and at the same time reduce
the chaos that comes in the morning? ME! Sooooooooo...The boys and I brainstormed
things that they should do between the time they wake up and before our
lesson starts. We had some sort of a system prior to this but I think
making the hand and writing on it the five habits they picked made it
more concrete and a very useful reminder that they can refer to each
morning.
As for my younger son, I drew pictures of his 5 HAW too since he doesn't know how to read yet. After making their 5 HAW hands, the boys put them in their headboard so they can easily look at what they wrote everyday.
Our goal is for the boysto
make these five things really a habit that eventually, they will be
part of their morning routines without even thinking about them. I'm
looking forward tomorrow how will this go! YAY
