Also, I LOVE the Language Lessons Series that I see you use :) I am going to dig around and see what I can come up with.

I am thinking that when I go to a yard sale this weekend that I will be looking for dish drainers and trying to follow your ideas. I so much like your compact idea, I don't have a lot of room for shoe boxes all over the place.<br />Thanks so much!<br />Mary CatoneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527291234539767099.post-86158056323702907502012-05-03T08:38:17.719-04:002012-05-03T08:38:17.719-04:00Thanks for stopping by.

I write up on the board what the children work on in their 3 hr work cycle and while they are all working independently I call groups and work with them on lessons... All the materials that the children need are in their trays or on the shelves and they have access to them at any time they need.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527291234539767099.post-62585732776334488932012-04-17T01:21:26.615-04:002012-04-17T01:21:26.615-04:00I love the workbox idea!

Mostly I don't like that the books and papers don't lie flat and get bendy so I don't put them in there. Then we end up not being organized for the day. Since I'm adding my second kid next year, I need to do better. This might be a better idea for us.
