Workboxes!

We are using a modified workbox system from www.workboxsystem.com.  We haven't actually bought the clear boxes and carts yet because I wanted to make sure that the system would work for us.  Instead we had everybody we know collecting cereal boxes for us, and we decorated those.  They have worked ok for short term, but I can tell we need to get something sturdier.  We only have six weeks of school left, so for next year, we will be upgrading to carts and clear boxes like Sue Patrick recommends.  Using this system has really blessed our homeschool.  We are adding more fun to our days instead of just "getting it done".  The girls are taking the initiative to get their work done, so they can play games and do more arts and crafts.  I cannot recommend it enough!!
