We are always trying to get outside the box; this post is on thinking inside the box- the workbox that is! This is the schedule my boys use for their workboxes. It is an adaptation of the schedule strips which Sue Patrick recommends. I like to tweak everything a little & make it my own. I decided to put the schedule on one 8.5X11 laminated sheet & designed my own graphics/schedule chips to put on there. This is where the boys go first thing. In addition to telling them exactly what they are suppossed to do it also reinforces top to bottom/left to right orientation which is great for my little guys. The #s represent workbboxes. The other chips tell them when to do centers (like computers, listening, science, book basket, posters, etc.) I also include chips for things like snack. As the boys accomplish each task they take it off their schedule so they always know exactly where they are in the day. If we get interrupted or come together to do art they know exactly where to pick back up when they return to their workboxes.
