Our workbox setup!

Workbox Fun!

Here is how we use workboxes in our house.

First are our carts.  Each child has a rainbow set of drawers that we got from Sams club for 24 dollars!

on top of their cart you can see their expandable file folder (each child's folder is in their special color) inside the folder in each of the sections labeled day 1-5 live the worksheets ect. for each day of that week.  I fill these folders on the weekend and then each evening I refill our drawers for the next day.  Super easy!

Now the numbers on the front of the drawer are put on with velcro dots.  As a drawer is finished the child places them on their workbox chart which is mounted on the side of their cart as shown in the second picture.

Now Here we have the workbox schedule book.  Each child has their own and yep the covers are in that child's color coded color LOL.  There is a spot for the day of the week and the date to help little ones learn calendar skills.  

We have a duplicate set of tags that lives in the back of the schedule book in the "storage pages".

I put the numbers and such in our day's schedule so that each kiddo can follow their schedule each day.  You can see here that it will show lunch breaks, circle time and snacks are all scheduled in here.  Each day has a front page and back so their enough squares for tags each day.

Here on the bottom corner of each child's dry erase board you can see a "help" tag.  

Each child has 5 help tags in their desktop box.

If they are working on something independent and get stuck they can grab a help tag and attach it to their dry erase board to let me know they need help with what they are working on.

You can see on top pf the shelves here the colored bins.  You cannot see it well in the picture but each bin has the kiddos names written on in sharpie marker.  

As a child finishes the work in their drawers they place the work in their bin which are once again in the child's color coded color.

And that is our system!  I will show in a later post how I file all of the work we finish and prep it for our portfolio review!
