Preschool Workboxes (my toddler's workbox too but that will be a seperate post)
Preschool Pack is from Homeschool Creations (I printed and put in clear sleeves to use with dry erase marker)
The fish printables I got HERE. I copied them into Word and enlarged them.
I made my preschooler & toddler a ocean sensory box (I will have a seperate post for this too)
We will be using this for awhile!
It started off as a crazy day, my children seemed to be uncorporative but after much prayer we got on track! I may have to split my schooling up into 2 sections 1/2 morning the other half while the little ones are napping so the distractions will be gone. All I know is that each day before we begin I will start with prayer! I couldn't do it without the help of my Maker!
I love the signs with the first day picture! What a great tradition!
ReplyDeletehave a great year! :) Can't wait to follow along on the journey with you this year.
ReplyDeleteLove that sensory box! It's totally great!
ReplyDeleteWow. You're making the rest of us look bad! Lol. I love how your have everything so organized. Do you do all subjects daily? We will do Science once a week and Spelling twice or three times. Which Phonics workbook do you use?
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with Workbox Wednesday! Looks like you will be having a fun week!
ReplyDeleteLooks super organized! I'm hoping to get that done soon........
ReplyDeletegreat stuff! :D Here from WW! Hope you'll visit as well!! We had last week off, and didn't use workboxes...so next week I'll post what we did this week in them :D So I hooked up an older post, but feel free to check out my workbox archives :D
ReplyDeleteI never thought of doing pictures on the first day. I need to remember that! Love the ocean box. Looking forward to that post!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I don't use work boxes, your boxes look awesome! Cute Back-to-School photos! Have a WONDERFUL year!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the photos of your kids and that ocean sensory box--sooo cool!! I want to play with it!!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of writing the date and school year on the dry erase board for the pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe preschool sensory box turned out great!
I flaked on the first day pictures. Well I took some of her working but not an official one. She was having a bad hair day. LOL
ReplyDeleteGlad the day turned out well. I've found over the years that school days go so much better when we start out with a family prayer and bit of scripture study. The pictures of the boys are priceless.
ReplyDeleteLove the board ideas with the age, date and grade! Great idea!
