mixed Grades 3 to 5 Live now Home Helpers: Grades 3 to 5
Home Helpers for grades 3 to 5 teaches the life skills a capable kid can own: a Helper chart, a tidy room, laundry start to finish, kitchen helper jobs with no heat or knives, setting and clearing, plants and pets, reading a clock and planning a week, sewing on a button with a grown-up, clean-up and recycling, lists and errands, being ready for anything, and a real thank-you note. Ferris the Fox and the Tomorrow Trail friends teach each job as steps, then a plan the child keeps. Saturday is Family Helper Day, when the child does the week's job at home with a grown-up. Every week is free.
