Orderliness in “I Will” Statements

1) I will pick up after myself.

2) I will put things away the right and complete way.

3) I will have one toy out at a time.

There are some special items from the craft store you’re going to need if you are going to do this craft.  You can really write your own “I Will” statements in any way, but this is a fun and more permanent solution.  I am going to start adding “I Will” statements for each weekly character development word in this series, so if you’re following along, it might be fun to make your own version of this.   The items I found in the craft store included a round 9″ in diameter hanging chalkboard circle, a bag of Woodsies (6 pc 7 9/64 x 2 13/16 x 3/16 inch) and Sticky Back Chalkboard Roll.  I had never heard of a chalkboard roll before, but I saw it at the craft store and figured there could be a lot of good uses for it.  It is basically contact paper that you can stick onto most services, making it into a chalkboard.  Of course you could use chalkboard paint too, but I figured it would be super easy to do it this way.  It was.  

The next thing to do was to drill holes. I did this while they were napping. Remember to only drill the top two holes in the bottom piece.  I accidentally drilled for and had to rectify my mistake.  The circle will have two holes also.  Just measure out where you would want them.  I found some cute ribbon to produce the final product.  I took chalk and wrote out our “I will” statements, which I later explained to the girls.  I hung this is a prominent place as reminders of the things we’re focusing on for the week.
