HOW TO USE
1. Open the file in the FREE Adobe Acrobat Reader on a computer (get.adobe.com/reader). Typing and the icon dropdowns need Adobe Reader; the Google Chrome browser also works. Phone and tablet previews may not let you type or save.
2. Type your child's name and the tasks. Click the small arrow next to each square to pick an icon, or leave it empty.
3. Save the file. Your tasks stay in the file, so each week you only print again.
4. Print the 5-day page or the 7-day page, one per child.
HOW TO PRINT
• Print at "Actual size" or 100%
• Regular printer paper works well; light cardstock (65 lb / 176 gsm) feels sturdier
• Use the INK-SAVER file for black-and-white printing
PLEASE NOTE
• This is a digital download. Nothing will be shipped.
• Fonts and colors in the typing boxes are fixed so the page always prints neatly.
• Colors may look a little different on your screen and printer.
• For personal and single-classroom use only. Please do not resell, share or upload the files.
• The small icons were made with an AI image tool from our own prompts, then designed into this layout by us.
