used this for homeschooling and loved it! I would place my daughters assignments on the floor (light workbooks or copies of heavy books) and she would sort out the order of her school day by putting first thing at the top and last at the bottom. when all the pockets were empty, she knew she was done! It was a great system for 1st grade and it really instilled independent working on her part and gave her control of what she got to do, when. We even had cards for recess and art and computer time.
