Sample Weekday Checklist (lower elementary – 1st-3rd)

Snuggle and read picture books with parent (30 min)

Breakfast and get dressed (30 min)

Math (1 lesson – probably assigned by school. If not, I recommend the free Xtramath website to learn math facts. This will help them greatly.) (15-30 min)

Chore (ex. Empty dishwasher, wipe off kitchen counters) (10 min)

Schoolwork (if assigned by school) or Reading - at reading level, out loud to parent (30 min)

Play with younger sibling (30 min)

Rest Time (Listen to audiobook & play Legos, color, etc. in room. 1 hr)

Sibling or family playtime – (1-2 hours, outside if possible ex. Bike ride, garden, ball games, nature drawing or observation, etc.)

Could do TV time or independent play time here if parent needs to work – (1 hour)

FREE TIME!!! – outside, craft, learn a new skill, help cook, etc.
Bedtime – parent reads aloud before bed (30 min) – a book above their reading level but not their comprehension level is great. Ex. Little House books
