& Workboxes Are a Go!

Happy Happy Happy.  I love this idea!  The idea of workboxes is to have everything ready to go in drawers for the children so that you can work down the line (or out of order) to complete everything for the day.  I searched for workbox cards but didn't want to print out several sheets to cut a few from each of them...so I just made my own.

Here is the free printable (completely editable)

I printed, laminated, cut, and stuck them on the drawers we will be using.  

Savanna was excited to put her workbooks in the drawers!  She put together their pencil boxes and put them in the bottom drawers.  She was begging for us to start today!  She is worried that it is going to be hard.  Love her heart!  I plan to have something in all of Avery's drawers so that if she will have something to do if she is interested.  I do not plan to force her to do any of it, but I am sure she will want to tag along with her sister.  She has her own curriculum ready to go as well.  We will be starting over on hers, as we did 2 weeks of it earlier this year.  They will both be doing Heart of Dakota curriculums.   

Here is our planner for Unit One.  I have pretty much just combined the two teachers manuals into one spreadsheet so I can cross stuff off as we go.  :)

Be Blessed, Amber

Countdown: 4 days!

Yay!  I am so excited about next week. We will be officially starting both the girls curriculums.    Little Hands to Heaven for Avery and Little Hearts for His Glory for Savanna.  We are starting early because 1) I am excited about it 2) we have all had a break from preschool, 3) I will have a break from my schooling soon, and 4) I want to be ahead of the public school system.  We will be taking a week off here and there since we are starting early, but I don't want to go for too long (say 3 months during the summer) or I feel that the girls will lose some of what they have learned. I also want to create an environment where learning is fun and interesting, and not something that is only done on September through June, weekdays, from morning to afternoon.  So anyways, just a heads up that we will be starting in 4 days!  :)

Oh, and Avery will be starting over completely....so there will be a lot of repeats!
