We have used it exclusively for 2 weeks now. However, I have done some other versions of it over the last year.

Here is the link to the website where I got it. They have other options as well:

Rebecca,
I saw a glimpse of your timeline on the Weekly check in board. I would love to see and know how you did it. Or where you got the idea? Is it in a notebook? or file folder?
Thanks again Mama! :wink:

Rebecca, I LOVED how you set up your workboxes without boxes! Did you make that or buy that or already own that?

LOL - yes, I knew it was a train. I just thought the pictures may be too small for some to make it out so I said "...looks like little rocks." ;)

It is in the file folder that Carrie suggested in the manual. I did the grid on the computer to make sure I got all of the boxes the same size and then I printed them and pasted them to a folder. :)

I had it custom built...by my father-in-law and my husband. :) It was my personal design. However, I am sure you can buy a set of "cubby" shelves from a teacher supply type store and do the same thing. Another thing that would work, if you like the longer slots rather than the box-ish ones on the bottom - is to get one of those office mail slot shelves like this one http://www.ergoindemand.com/office_mail_sorters.htm. :)

LOVE it!!

Doesn't HOD work so wonderfully with workboxes?! We also use them!
For my "lesson planning", all I basically have to do it number the boxes in the HOD manual, then put the appropriate materials in each workbox to correspond with the HOD boxes. I put the manual in the first box that needs it (after math!), and our dd can do so much independently that way. :) Makes it easy for me to make sure we have everything we need for the next day, too. :D

So, are you planning on just buying another manual for the next child or is it not specific to that child and can be reused?

Looks incredible, but I'm exhausted from thinking about doing all of that. :) I'm going to take some of your ideas though, I feel like we're constantly trying to find things and I'm still trying to get my feet on using these manuals. I love them though. I've just not taken the time to really get things set-up, it's been so busy around here and I just really wanted to start!

This looks great! :D But still like too much planning for me to wrap my brain around. :shock: I think I need to hire someone to come over and do this in my house when we get that far into our hs journey! :oops:

While my workboxes have stayed the same, my planning has gotten to be much LESS. I should do an updated thread and show my much less difficult system.

That's weird, my last post didn't post. LOL

Don't you love workboxes? I just had to blog about mine last year. Both my daughter and I love them.
