Workbox Wednesday 1st Grade

Here's a look into what is in Phillip's Workboxes for school.

I bought this set of drawers about 3 or 4 years ago when they were on clearance at Walmart.

1st Drawer is Bible. This contains he AWANA book, bag and vest, along with his Jesus Storybook Bible.

2nd Drawer is his Daily Learning Notebook. We also chart the weather and mark what day it is on our bulletin board.  You can get your copy here of the charts and notebook pages.

3rd drawer is Math. Just a basic addition worksheet for today. 

4th Drawer is Reading. We are currently working on 6 new words this week that we will add to our caterpillar on the bulletin board. He also has a notebook to draw a picture in from the book that I read aloud. The current book is The Tale Jolly Robin

5th Drawer is Writing. There are a few worksheets in here for him to complete. 

6th Drawer History   we do these lessons with Trevor

7th Drawer Science   we do these lessons with Trevor

8th Drawer Computer   He does a few things on the computer for school. XtraMath.com, ABCya.com are just a few websites he uses daily. 

9th Drawer is a Math Game.

The LAST drawer, #10. Copywork.  To help him with his penmenship, he will copy what I write on the page. This week we are using his AWANA verse, John 3:16

I'll post soon what the plan is for Annabelle and her preschool work. 

Back to School....

Wow! It's been forever since I posted on my blog. Almost an entire year. Hopefully I can get back into blogging.

Last Tuesday, July 7th, was the first day of school. I know, crazy early right?!

Well, this year Patrick is attending Holly Grove Middle School in Holly Springs. He as been asking to go back to public school, and we said YES! He has been so excited about going to school, riding the bus, and seeing his friends. Getting up early and going to bed early is not really is favorite new things but he is adjusting, without complaining.
