Prep Time

We just finished school a few weeks ago, and I'm already working hard to get things ready before school starts again in September! I have most of what I need to get my workbox system going. I can't get my new shelves up until I get rid of the piano, so my 24 workboxes are waiting, neatly stacked!



I've been printing off forms and laminating stuff. I have finished the clock in/clock out pockets for the kids. This is supposed to help them to realize that when they clock in, school has started! When they finish all 12 boxes, they can clock out and have free time. They seem very excited about using this system this fall!




Another idea I got from Sue Patrick's Workbox System is a chores chart. I made my own for each of the kids. Isaac's is decorated with cars and Moriah's with kittens. Each chart has a pocket for special chores. I have the special chores pictured on craft sticks and stored in a ducky cup. Believe it or not, they're excited about these charts too! I used brass fasteners so that they can rotate the checkmarks when they finish each chore.









I'll put more pictures up as I get the workbox system in place!
