Workbox System Thoughts

I recently came across this system on Ravelry’s Homeschooling Yarnies Forum. If you google “workbox system” you’ll find lots of links.

Math Today

Not such a good math day. Sam didn’t do as well as he thought he did. Tried to explain that math is a “language” in hopes that would help his outlook. Maybe it will eventually. Not so much at the moment. He confused “value” and “digit” which changed the format of his answers BUT he [...]
