I did a recent post about us incorporating the workbox system into our homeschooling this year. It has been 5 weeks and things are going great. I am so glad we are able to get around to doing things we would have not done before. Today I want to share with you what I have been putting into my son's workboxes for him to complete each day. Before I do that I will show you some of the products we are using this year. Click on the pictures to take you to their websites.
Now on to the workboxes. Sue Patrick's system is set up as 12 clear plastic shoe boxes on a wire rack. We don't have space for that in our apartment so I bought the Smartspace 10 drawer rolling organizer cart. It holds books perfectly without me having to bend anything. Each day I fill up the drawers with the work for subjects we will cover that day, the supplies he needs to complete the work as well as some FUN Box activities. Boxes 1-3 and 5 hold the same things each day. This helps cut down on the time it takes to fill the workboxes each night. Here are pics of those boxes...
1. This is a sheet and a crayon for my son to color a lightbulb that day for the countdown to his 100 days of school.
2. We're doing the Book of Virtues Unit Study and this is the last of unit 1. Here is the worksheets, mini books that goes with it, and a pencil.
3. My son is working through MUS Gamma this year. This is the DVD, his student text, and a pencil.
5. This is his Sequential Spelling book, a folder with paper to write that days words, and a pencil.
Boxes 4, 6-9 changes up each day. Some are regular workboxes and others are the FUN Boxes. Here are pictures of what's in those regular workboxes.
This is his grammar book, CD, and a pencil.
This is a Reading Comprehension worksheet with the questions on the back and a pencil.
These are the Write Shop cards with the character, character trait, setting, and plot as well as paper and a pencil for my son to write a story. I took this pic after my son had completed his for the day.
This is what we are doing for Science this year.
This is his Prima Latina DVD's, workbook, and a pencil.
We are doing a unit study on the Stringed Family for Music. Here are some cards to make a game as part of the lapbook we are making.
This is his art book, some crayons, and there's a sheet of drawing paper under the book for the project.
This is another example of an art box that has some crayons, the sheet from the CD with the project he is doing, underneath is some scissors.
This is a worksheet of the state he is learning about for Geography with some markers to color the picture. I took this pic after he had already finished it.
This sheet is the History about the state he is learning for Geography. We read this together and discuss it afterwards.
This is his workbook to practice writing Latin Hymns and Prayers in cursive handwriting along with a pencil.
I did not take pics of the FUN Box activities because this post is already getting too long.  Some of the things I put in boxes for fun are puzzles, mazes, jacks and a ball, marbles, brain teasers, flash cards, toothpicks and marshellows, fun science projects, Magnetix, Legos, and motor skills activities. I hope I helped someone get a better idea of how to make use of their workbox system. |
