Is anyone here using Workboxes?
I'm starting mine and I'd love tips on using them with preschoolers! In the meantime, read my interview with Sue Patrick (the creator of the system).

I have them, mostly for math concepts (the one subject the kids struggle with). We don't use them that often, I used to use them for everything, when the kids were younger, but not so much in the last year.
I have them for my soon to be 1st grader & my dd4. For her I might include a color worksheet, number worksheet, writing practice, lacing cards, puzzles, shape flash cards, dominoes, her HOP work, work on starfall.com, she listens in on our Science & Social Studies lesson so those go in boxes too!
