Getting In On The Workbox Hype

Sue Patrick’s Workbox System is taking off like a wild fire on a dry day. Homeschool families are getting in on the excitement and news about this GREAT system is spreading fast!

It’s so cool when you find something that clicks in your home. You just can’t keep it to yourself.

I picked up my copy of Sue’s book two weeks ago. I read it in one day (more like devoured it). I went straight out and picked up the materials to set it all up in my home.

To save space, we opted to use drawers with 12 manilla envelopes. Each child has their own drawer.

I learned quickly that my 3 year old was simply never going to do that many activities in a day (maybe even a week). Her drawer has about four little activities for her to do if she chooses. The pressure is off where she is concerned.

    Thank you for sharing! I like your space saving idea and really liked the visual of the check-in/out envelopes! I still need to make those. We were working so hard on the boxes/ideas for them last week that I didn't get everything prepped as I would have liked. I hope that you will join the Homeschool Weekly and share more of your ideas :)

    Blessings,
