So how many workboxes for each child?

I have a fifth grader (yikes! How can that be?) and an 8 year old with learning delays.

Or rather I will as of next school year.

My fifth grader will have 12 workboxes. My 3rd grader will start with 10 and build to 12. My K'er with start with 6 and build to 8 or 9.
Last year my dd had 12 boxes and did just fine. As a matter of fact, she is so efficient in getting her work done with this system, I could have given her more if I wanted to. She really thrives on a system like this.
My ds, who is 8, has ADHD and really struggles with reading and writing. Last year he did 12 boxes but I made sure to incorporate lots of fun, get-up-and-move stuff. We will do the same thing this year.

I think you will have to play around with the number to find what works for your kids. I use 10 boxes with all of my kids, even the fifth grader, and this works very well for us.

I am pretty sure I've figured it out. It looks like with my older there will be less refilling as a lot of his bags are just things that he continues.

With my younger boy (the seven year old) I will have a bunch of bags, but I'm doing a lot of therapy type stuff with him and games. Each activity will have its own bag.

I think this may work for us.
