My friend told me all about the Workbox System by Sue Patrick. It didn't take much to convince me that this would benefit our homeschool. I had been looking for a way to add some structure into our homeschool and foster a little more independance.

The next day I read the book and immediately afterwards I was reorganising the house trying to see how I was going to implement it in my home. When I told my husband about the system he was excited to-he loves structure. The following night I read through the FIVE IN A ROW forum's 369 posts on the topic.

Many of these women have come up with some great ways to implement this in their home, and they all talk about how it has helped Mum and kids get organised.

I haven't followed the storage suggestion of boxes instead I have used plastic envelopes and magazine boxes.









So this weekend I have been laminating and organising work.






To help with the daily (or nightly) set up I have stored work beside the boxes.









I will also get them to place their completed work in their own basket that they can bring to me at the end of the day for checking. Then I can refill the envelopes from the baskets and stack them neatly together ready for the next day.








We will still do our regular read alouds and morning bible study then we will try out the boxes. The kids are very excited.


I highly recommend you read about this method from the author and buy her ebook.Workbox System by Sue Patrick.


I will try to post later this week about how it is all going and what I am putting in the boxes.
