Workboxes!

I have spent the weekend getting the kids workboxes set up and creating a planner form for them. Here are the pictures..

 Luke's are the blue and red ones on the left and Sophie's and the light blue and green on the right. They each only have 6 for now. I want to use them for the things that they can work on fairly independently with just a bit of instruction to get started. My goal is to just get Lucas use to working somewhat independently on a few things and get use to the workbox system. Once we start Kindergarten this fall I will change it up a bit. I want to start out real basic with them for now and change as our needs change or find out what is or is not working.

Here I created hanging files to correspond to the #'s on the boxes and also two "extra" folders. I am not exactly sure how I will use these yet but a couple of thoughs are to use them to fill a weeks worth of boxes or to put things in that would fit better there than in the box. ? ? I don't know I suppose time will tell. Any ideas?

I put their boxes over by their little table with the idea that they will be close to them and increase their independence a bit. They usually do everything, except paint, at the big table with me. They always use their little table for that. BUT you know how the best laid plans turn out, Right!

Oh how I wish there were more hours in the day. I have some documents I was going to share but I have yet to figure out that whole process. Not to self-- add that to my never ending to do list :).

I am pretty excited to see how the kids do tomorrow with their new workboxes. An update post coming soon.
