Work Box System

We LOVE our workbox system. Both my boys wake up with eager anticipation of what their workboxes hold each day. Each one is 10-15 minutes in time frame. My oldest knows he has to work through them in order and until my youngest understand number order, he can pick whatever he wants (with a little guidance!) Each day the boys have 10 workboxes to work through and they do have a reward at the end! (Reward for their hard work!) They can watch cartoons, play computer games or video games after rest time. Here is what we do on a typical day!
This cart is my absolute favorite! http://www.amazon.com/Drawer-Chrome-Rolling-Storage-Organizer/dp/B0007OC1FQ
Each child has their own work list.

My oldest son’s first box this day was his calendar. We usually do this as a group activity, however I chose to put it in his work box today!
