my lastest project

I've been trying to come up with a good system for my children detailing the day's work. I got all the kids the small dry erase boards and attached them to the side of a bookshelf with velcro. Then I write that days work on each board. They erase each activity as they finish it. What do you think?

I think you should be going into business with this idea! Excellent.

What are the silver circles on each whiteboard? Could you post colored circles at the end of each day to indicate how well each child did? (Green for great, yellow for OK, red for not finished.) For example, you could arrange three circles vertically, like a traffic signal, with the red, yellow, or green circle in its appropriate place - the other two being silver.
