Workbox's Work!!

This concludes day 2 of using the workbox system with our homeschooling and I cant imagine how we ever managed without. It takes a total of 10 min. to set up for the next day (and that is because I'm not completely organized as of yet) and making an entire week worth of curriculum took about 30-40 min. This has effected how all of us use up our days. The kids seem to go through the morning routine of washing up, dressing, eating and chore in 15 min. and that used to take at least 2 hours with all the goofing around they used to do. I have actually found a lot of free time TO MYSELF if you can believe that. They are doing so well and I'm adding new ideas daily and finding fine tuning to each of their needs extremely easy to do. There jealousy at seeing me work one-on-one with the other sibling seems to no longer bother them since I have learned how to schedule them so that I am bouncing back from one to the other during school time. We have so much free time and that’s what I was afraid of loosing once we fully committed to homeschooling. I cant wait till Ariz starts the local charter school here and I get to use the workboxes; have her finish assigned work and still have time for fun off beat or spontaneous crafts and outings :)
