Table Chores


Every morning after breakfast, we
  • wash our breakfast dishes
  • clear the table
  • take the placemats outside and shake crumbs off
  • sweep off the table w/ a hand broom
  • wipe down the table
Then we do seatwork at the table. After lunch, we
  • throw away our paper plates (it's a lunch thing) & wash forks if used
  • sweep the kitchen and dining room (each child has their own day)
  • take the placemats outside and shake crumbs off
  • return placemats to the table
The remainder of schooling happens on couches, beds, floors, and outside. No tables needed.

After dinner, we
  • wash our dishes
  • take the placemats outside and shake crumbs off
  • 1 child puts away leftovers; 1 child washes pots & pans (typically only my beloved crock-pot); the rest of the kids put away clean dishes and tidy up the rest of the kitchen
