Tapestry of Grace in Workboxes

We delved into workboxes at the same time we started an Olympic unit study last month. Doing both new things together made for a good transition. I wondered how workboxes would work out when we returned to our Tapestry studies.

Tapestry of Grace in Workboxes - Sample Schedule
Here’s a sample schedule to show you how:

  • History reading – book in a box with pages flagged. (Red light, Green light)
  • Literature – book in a box, along with questions or worksheet
  • Writing – an index card with assignment and Writing Aids and any other needed props
  • Geography – outline map, assignment and geography book
  • Arts and Activities – copy of assignment from TOG or an index card with assignment written on it

Tapestry of Grace in Workboxes I thought we’d try it this way through the end of this school year. It’s working well so far. Starting next year, I would like to go back to our Sunday night or Monday morning meeting. My older ones can fill out their own assignment sheets for the week.

Of course each child has a workbox for Math, handwriting and practicing music. Plus bonus boxes for time with a younger sibling or enjoying learning links on the computer.

Outdoor Hour Challenge in workbox

We’ve seen much success with workboxes for special assignments. Take the Handbook of Nature Study Outdoor Hour challenge we did on Monday. I have a whole post explaining the One Small Square Challenge.

Preparing for homeschool expo

The remainder of the week we finished up regular assignments and concentrated on science projects for next week’s Homeschool Expo. Needless to say there were projects on every available spot of open floor space. Or table space.

How have workboxes been a success in your homeschool?

About Hodgepodgemom

Tricia faces a daily dose of chaos homeschooling five children. The biggest lesson she’s learned? At the end of the day – when the dishes are put away and the children are tucked in bed – truly what matters is each child’s relationship with the Lord. Raising children is a God-given privilege and, folks, the time is short.
