So, we didn't use work boxes last week, it was our 'off' week, and as you can see from my previous post to this one, we did a Unit Study on Popcorn! The unit study was great, but it really reinforced how GREAT work boxes are and how much easier it makes my homeschooling life!! Next 'off' week, I think we are going to do work boxes, somehow! Only issue with that is that it doesn't really give ME an off week, which I so badly need once in a while as well!
Since we didn't use work boxes last week, and Monday was a holiday...I snapped a few pictures of what was in our work boxes on Tuesday! So...here ya go!
 |
| Ziti Macaroni and pipe cleaners |
 |
| Patterns and shape building |
 |
| Gluing Marshmallows on Letter Mm |
 |
| Handwriting without tears Letter P |
 |
| RED playdough with Letter M, moon and mouse cookie cutters, scissors and rolling pin |
 |
| Graphing M&M's (I used this Fruit Loop Graph, and just changed the purple to brown) |
 |
| Flipped it over and practiced patterns |
 |
| Making butter (we didn't get to this during popcorn week). Just use heavy whipping cream, put in a baby food jar with a marble (I've done it without too)...then SHAKE! SHAKE! SHAKE! |
Love the marshmellows and M&Ms themes!

Thanks for linking up! It is hard for me to use food when teaching...I tend to eat it before it ever makes it in the workboxes! ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks like they had a great time!
I love your boxes! I wish I still had little ones- school looks so fun. Still it reminds me to keep more hands-on activities in my boys' boxes.
ReplyDeleteHow fun!!! What a great week! Love Erica's stuff. We are using it too.
ReplyDeleteI love the graph, the marshmallow M+Ms, and the sorting! Great ideas! I have heard of work boxes, but honestly, still don't understand how they work. Is it just boxes that you set up beforehand with activities for each of the kids?
