The drawers Koko has been using are not longer available, so I sourced another type of draw system and I am now waiting for them to be delivered! Keep an eye out for a future “What’s in the Box Wednesday” post with pictures of Fifi’s new boxes. Koko will continue to use the boxes he has, they work well for him. Until Fifi’s new drawer system arrives, she will be making use of the trays. Her PreK trays are stored and set out similarly to Pixie’s trays. As she completes each tray, the work gets moved to my desk where it gets marked and filed. She helps me fill her trays the next morning just before we start school.
Tray 1
We are still busy with Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons. She loves her reading lessons and is doing extremely well.
Tray 2
Her hand writing worksheets that correspond to the reading lesson for the day. She does 2, sometimes 3 (if the lesson calls for it). I try to make these as fun for her as possible.
She uses a combination of the following:
