Our First Day of "Workboxing"

WOW! We had a great first day of "workboxing," let me tell you! After our first box- an A coloring sheet-only took 2 minutes to complete, I thought, "We'll be done in 10 minutes or less at this rate." But, no! Two and half hours later, we had worked our way through all 7 workboxes, and had a lovely time doing it (all 3 of us). :)



Our workbox system in the corner of the dining room.






Sylvia's chart (before they can look in each box, the girls take the corresponding number off of the workbox and put it onto their chart; when all the workboxes are completed, they get to velcro their smiley face up too).




Today's workbox contents: an A is for alligator coloring sheet, ABC puzzle, wooden magnetic dolls, sorting cubes by color, Dr. Seuss's ABCs book on c.d. (read by yours truly), making fingerprint ants on big letter A's, and apple and peanut butter for snack.



The girls hard at work. (Did I mention this occupied 2 and a half hours of time?!? I folded and put away 2 loads of clothes, emptied the dishwasher, did supper prep work, and paid bills in addition to supervising as needed). We'll see how tomorrow goes...
