Hey guys! It’s been forever since I posted a What’s in the Workbox Wednesday post and I just remembered how much I love them so I thought I’d bring them back! We’ve been using workboxes for so many years now I don’t even remember when we started! But they obviously work well for us so I don’t have plans to change anytime soon!
Not sure what I’m talking about? Click here for more info on what workboxes are and how we use them!
Let’s start by seeing what my 4th grader is up to this year shall we?
Her first drawer houses her Bible, Daily Agenda, and her drawer organizer. Her bible worksheets are below the daily agenda so you can’t see it. I always get a lot of questions on our daily lesson plans and where I get that printout from (the spiral with the yellow highlighted activities). You can get our homeschool lesson plans by grade here!
In her second drawer she keeps her math. We’re using Math U See Delta this year. I just pull out one week’s worth of worksheets every Friday so they’re ready to go for the upcoming week. Then she just pulls one off the top each day. Easy peasy!
Her next drawer has her Spelling You See D & E and her IEW Robin Hood Book 2. I don’t pull out worksheets for these, we just use those sticky tabs and move them from one day to the next so she knows what worksheet she’s on.
Her next drawer has her writing in it. This year she’s working through IEW Fables, Myths, and Fairy Tales The puppy binder is where she stores all of her writing assignments, etc. Again we just use a sticky tab to keep track of where she is in the booklet.
Her last drawer has her history, science, and reading it in. This year she is using Abeka Science 4 , my Road Trip USA & my Colorado Unit Study, and my Classical Literature Units for reading.
And that’s it for our 4th grade curriculum line up this year! So far we love everything!

I would love to know you are enjoying the building on the rock bible curriculum. It looks really interesting! Do lessons take the 45 minutes they say it takes? Do you purchase the teachers manual or just the student workbook? Would love to know more!
Hi Julie,
yes they actually do take a bit of time to get through. The lessons are geared more towards a class so they’re working on updating it better for homeschoolers. But we managed to get through them 🙂 I do like the lessons it just takes a bit of adjustment for a homeschool setting.
