Oh wow! You really went all out! That is so great!
I'm new to workboxes and I'm wondering if you leave the same activities in the boxes all week or do you change them out for each school day?
I love your what's in the box posts. It always gives me such great ideas.
Tam: I change out her boxes everyday, unless she doesn't do an activity, then I'll leave it in for the next day.
I am newer to workboxes myself. Have you ever considered posting what you plan to put in the preschool workboxes for a week (in your "extra" time 😀 )? That would be a wonderful help & blessing to me. Or, do you know of another blog that does list it for a week?
Crickett: I haven't posted what we do for the whole week, but i do have a sample spreadsheet you can download and basically just swap out the letter like the sample is for letter d, but then I do similar things each week and just swap out the letter.

Thanks so much for the link! I really appreciate your time & effort in putting this together and sharing it. If you have one for your Ker and 2nd grader you you are willing to share, those would also be helpful. I have 5 children – 6th, 4th, 1st/K, Preschool, and a 6 week old.
Crickett: All I have for your age range would be a sample one for my 2nd grader here: http://www.4shared.com/file/146593921/218cba24/workboxtemplate.html I fill it out each week based on her curriculum, then add in fun stuff in the empty spots.
