I made up some a few years ago (before they were called workboxes). I need to switch them around to give him something new to work with. Thanks for your good ideas. :) Cyndy,

He feels so big because this year I let him start the Primer of Math U See. I figured even if we did 1/2 of it, we'd have a jump start on next year. He loves to watch the Math Guy videos, and he really feels as if he's a part of school along with his older siblings. He has learned a lot and is already on lesson 8! When you start early, there is no pressure to finish the book. :) My 4 year old begs to do “school” with the others. He feels so big because this year I let him start the Primer of Math U See.
