Workboxes and a high school student

Posted in Workboxes

I wanted to comment on using this with a high school student.  Initially I thought I'd not do it with my oldest.  I didn't think it was necessary.  I still don't think he needs the visual cues of the boxes, but we'll see about that after we've done it for awhile.

What I am finding is that the structure of the boxes and specific directions for each one is very helpful for my high schooler.  He has gotten so much work done today and I am thrilled!  We built in a better review time for his work and I can only see this getting better.

This system is helping me to take my role as a homeschooler more seriously.  Not that I didn't before, but my efforts are much more productive and it is showing.  It's probably showing in how the house looks too.  LOL  It's hard to get it done in school and also in keeping up with the house.  We'll tackle that a little later though.

Blessings,

Leslie

It IS hard to keep house too isn't it?! That's one of my pet peeves. I won't even mention what my house is like right now!

I was wondering after all the time since you wrote this post........how did it work out for your high schooler? I have two I am thinking about using it with.

Thanks! Chari

Little ones waiting in heaven



Philippians 4:6

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer

and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

v7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will

guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

v8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable,whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
