workboxing our style (Part I)

Homeschool long enough and you'll hear about it.

The Workbox System

I linked in the resource that helped me most

It's positively everywhere!

In fact, I'm not sure how I managed to be so late on the draw?  I've been homeschooling for three years and only recently stumbled onto this little gem of an idea.  I suppose I've been living in Survival Mode for the past coupla years.  Which is understandable.  And is the segue into my daily Seizure Mommy plug.

::smile::  

Because seriously...loving a baby with catastrophic epilepsy and the radical treatments it brings leaves barely enough left over to survive never mind Workbox

Anyway...

Back to Workboxes.

I fell in loooooooooove with the idea immediately.  And since it was right around my (it's way too early in our relationship for me to spill which) birthday I decided to use my mulah and race to Ikea.  Where I just knew I would find the workbox set up of my homeschooling mommy dreams! 

Sure enough! 

Of course it always looks much cuter before you start filling the bins.  But still.  I'm liking it.  

As you can see...I'm still working on labeling

Although I'm only homeschooling one right now our school room also functions as a therapy room for Trevy

I always like seeing the way other families set up...it gives me fresh ideas

We've been posting our Parade of Nations on the wall but I'm already thinking next year to either lapbook or binder our Geography

This is an idea I "borrowed" from someone else.  It's a cuter way to create a daily pocket chart-ish station.  Works great with older kids who think pocket charts are for babies!  I like this concept and will use it again next year - only better!
