Workboxing, traveling and consistancy

About five years I heard about a method of organizing homeschooling activities called Workboxing, based on Sue Patrick's book. The jist of it is to separate your children's activities into six to twelve individual boxes, (depending on age, abilities and interests), with all the supplies they need to complete it. Boxes are numbered and your child has a schedule strip to let them know when to do what. You set a timer to let them know how long you want them to work on each box or let them just progress at their own speed. It is a way to set up activities for multiple children to be done at the same time, adding fun activities to your school day, and allowing children to be more self sufficient. Children as young as preschool and up through high school can successfully use the workbox system. It has worked for us, (off and on), since we started using it. But I have a confession. I have never read the book. The book suggests using shoe boxes, but we found these 9x12x2 tupperware boxes at the dollar store that were big enough for notebooks or workbooks. They fit easily on a bookshelf and she was very happy to take control of her education. I just needed to fill the boxes as needed. I even delegated a fair amount of that for my daughter to do herself. I had her bring me her completed work as she finished each box, I checked it, made notes and set it aside. Her last activity of each day was to make any corrections, reset her boxes and choose her fun activities for the next day. It worked for over a year in North Cali before we left, and the entire time in Arkansas. On the way to Cape Cod, our RV caught fire and we lost pretty much everything. Including her schoolwork and her workboxes. We usually take off school between thanksgiving and new year's anyway, so when we left the weekend after Thanksgiving. We thought we would have a month to get settled knowing no one in our new place and a new state. But it took us much longer to get over the shock and trauma. The workboxes helped to re-establish consistency and allowed her to occupy herself while I got stuff done. Last year we switched from boxes to folders. We found clipboards with a attached covers at staples, but they were too thin for her workbooks. We cut the covers off extended their spines when we re-attached them with duct tape. Then we covered them with fabric. Because we were intending on getting a new RV and full-timing, we made a curtain with pockets to hold her folders that would do double duty giving her privacy in the over cab loft. We couldn't find a rv we liked in our price range before we needed to leave Cape Cod, so the curtain wasn't used, but the folders work seem to be working.
