Workbox

We have climbed aboard the Sue Patrick Workbox Sytstem and enjoying the ride. I loved to organize and this seemed right up my ally. This is what ours looked like at the end of the day. A complete mess, yes, but it was quickly righted and set for the next day.

This is my breakfast room in this small house. It will be getting a little overhaul this weekend and I will post some pictures next week. I feel a trip to IKEA coming.

C has 12 boxes and we roughly fill about 9 of them a day. This week we are stressing reading, so I have laid off some other subjects. We are not done with our year by any standards, we are just laying a little low.

J has 6 boxes at 4 yrs old. We do 3 and take a break and then do 3 more. He is adamantly against all schoolwork and so everything has to be a tricky. If it looks like schoolwork he is headed out of the door.

I keep some of the boxes prefilled. For example, we have a play dough box, a sorting game with colored pom poms, tweezers, and a egg carton, dot markers, colors, etc. i just pull out the box that I want to add, mostly to J's day, and add the number.

You can order the book as an e-book, which I highly recommend and see what all the hoopla is about. You can also see a list of other bloggers that use the workbox system over at Cheeky Monkey. Enjoy.
