We have discovered Sue Patrick's workbox system and it has REVOLUTIONIZED our homeschooling!!

LAST week, we did more school than in the previous MONTH!  Bug (15yos) - who has been BORED to TEARS with school for MONTHS - thinks school is just great if you put his assignments in boxes!  He's now doing all assignments without ONE SINGLE COMPLAINT!

Butterfly (13yog) - who is severely dyslexic and reading at a 1st - 2nd grade level - is doing most things INDEPENDENTLY!!!

I am getting TONS of fun stuff done with the preschoolers (AND olders)!!!  Even Pooh Bear (2mob) has boxes!!  We put in rattles, massage oil, books, texture boards... it just helps me to have a focused time with him.

I'm so excited about this (hence the large amount of exclaimation points) - I'll be writing several more posts in the very near future!

All the children are thrilled and don't EV-AH want to go back to "boxless" school.

Check it out!

That is a very intersting idea. I know my daughter would like a workbox. I need to check into this further. Thanks. (I'm back. I went to the sites you suggested and did not find any specifics on how they work. Would you be able to write more about that?)

These look very interesting! I would like to follow your blog to see how you do with these boxes. I am only h/s two kids right now and they are young....we love lapbooking and notebooking, but am interested in this for the future when all 3 of my kids are older ( as we may have more kids by then!)

Not sure if you know this, but there is a Yahoo Loop that you can join regarding the workboxes. I think this link should get you to the homepage:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/workboxes/

Be sure to check out the files as there are documents of different activities people have thought of putting in the boxes. Some have included photos. And in the links sections there are a bunch of blog links showing how others are using the boxes.

Wow! THis is really taking storm. Everywhere I look people are getting excited about boxes. I am thinking about it for next year. One thing I am worried about is the space it takes up.
Blessings,
