The Workbox system for organizing your homeschool

 

This concept is new to me. A friend was talking to me about it and I was both intrigued and confused at the same time. I suppose I needed to see it or investigate it more. With four children, I need organization.

Here is a bit from a gal who wrote about it on her blog. It helps me to visualize it and therefore, makes it more attainable for me. The start up costs seem high (in my opinion) to buy the containers and such, but as you will see- there is no arguing, no mess, no more losing the projects or workbook, and so on. That is the trade off: spend the bucks, less stress.
