Our Family Journey

Here are some photos of Ethan's Workboxes. I bought Mardel's Mobile tower to help keep the boys school work organized. I am an organized wannbe but for some reason can't seem to get that way. :( I am hoping that Sue Patrick's Workbox System will help me be at least 1 day on top of things. I am still tweaking the system to fit our family (I am using the towers instead of a shoe rack and boxes like Sue recommends) but I know eventually this will help us get more done as well as add fun things in.

Our proposed schedule (may change once Ella is born...only 8 more days!)

8:30am--Kids up and chore time (5 B's: make Bed, Be dressed, Brush teeth, pray about their Behavior, eat Breakfast)

9:15--Start school: pray, calendar time, memory verse/bible reading, and pledge

9:45--Workboxes

1) History/Bible (MOH)
2) Math fact drills (Each boy has a timer at their desk)/Math (Evan uses Math-u-See; Ethan uses Teaching Textbooks 6)
3) Handwriting (this year we are A Reason for Handwriting)/ Writing Strands (Ethan); Writing with Ease (Evan)
4) Fun Box
5) Science ( Apologia Flying Creatures of the 5th day)
6) Spelling (Spelling Power)
7) English (Rod and Staff for Ethan; First Language Lessons for Evan)
8) Fun Box (Critical Thinking)
9) P.E. (Running Time)
10) Reading

Then there is computer time and typing practice.
