We use work-boxes in homeschooling for Princess and Mr. Man. It is a system that works well for our family; it seems to help us get things done. So Noodle has noticed that he does not have a workbox and occasionally will ask where his is. Anyway, last Saturday I decided it was time to get him one and do some real teaching of letters, numbers, etc. I ran into the store while Mr. D sat in the car with the kids. When I came out and got back in the car with the box in hand, Noodle yelled out "My workbox! Now I can do math, too!" It was really cute. I don't even know how he knew the box was for him, but he did. I filled his box and today was his first "school day." He was so excited- it was fun to see him dig into the folders and exercises with gusto. What a great way to start formal learning!
