Great idea! Can you tell me about the Aboriginal bark art project? I am doing an around-the-world study this year and am having a hard time finding Australian stuff. I think the boxes sound fabulous!

And, I'm sure it would be different with more than one kid to keep track of. For one thing, I just wouldn't have space if I had to multiply the boxes by 3! Luckily for me, I still just have the one preschooler, and the one long-distance middle schooler. Karen,

Kudos to you. I don't think I could be trusted to faithfully arrange all the boxes for all my (three) school-aged children. I think one day ahead at a time, usually. There are some things I map/plan out in advance (usually 3-4 weeks in advance), but the least advance planning the better, in my book. I'm NOT saying that it's a poor system -- it sounds fabulous. I just would not be able to do it over the course of a whole schoolyear; I'm not organized enough. Wow. Kudos to you.

I'll have to see how we can incorporate this, because it seems like it would really add an air of mystery and surprise to the daily routine... What a cool idea!
