Learning Life Skills at School

One day last week Alex came home with a worksheet in his backpack that was a chore checklist. Since he thought it was his homework he took on completing each task one by one and was enthusiastic about it. Some of the chores were easy - like setting the table and also clearing his place setting. He also took on folding towels and I was excited that he knew how to do this without me ever showing him - I am guessing the teacher taught the children how. Of the chores, the only one that he has not yet done is make his bed. Since he has a loft bed and it requires balancing on the ladder and lifting the mattress -this is one that for safety reasons we can't have him do. Since this sheet started coming home, he has been very helpful around the house and has even helped take out the garbage.

I took a picture of the Life Skills worksheet (with teacher comments).
