In the past, I have had a job for each child in my class. They kept the job for the week. This year I decided to try having one helper each day who does all the jobs. WHY DID I NOT DO THIS BEFORE? It has made my life so much easier. The child really feels special when it is his or her turn. I don't have to remember who has each job. I get out of doing a lot of "grunt work"! And the kids love doing all these menial tasks! Here is a list of what the helper does in the morning (instead of morning work) and then what the helper does during morning meeting.
