Apr. 26, 2009 - Our Workboxes
We're going to try the workbox system that so many homeschoolers are using now. I spent the weekend making up some schedule sheets. Hopefully it will make our schoolday more organized.
Our workboxes:

In our boxes for Monday are...
1. Brain Integration Therapy Exercises
2. 45 minutes of Aleks Math
3. Read a section of our Health Book
Practice Guitar
4. Roll the dice & multiply the numbers
5. watch an Inventoons video on YouTube
6. Growing With Grammar Lesson
One game of Wii Bowling
7. Worksheet from factmonster.com
8. Read a section of "The Story of Inventions" out loud
9. Handwriting Page
(no outside time on the schedule due to the weather forecast
)
On Mondays, we never start school until after lunch, so it's always a little different than the other 4 days of the week.
I made up several schedule sheets with different numbers of boxes. If it doesn't make our schooling more organized, at least we'll have cute pictures to look at! I had a few more ideas, but my fingers were getting so sore from peeling & sticking velcro that I had to stop.

I love how creative you were with your numbers. I think it is much more motivating for children if it looks like fun.

Could you give me an idea what you do for this? Is there a book? I've read about this and although my dd isn't autistic she is *very* right brained.
Thanks,
