I found 3 art keeper boxes (need to drive to another Target to get the last one). I found 2 hanging file boxes (black, not exactly what I had in mind, but better than the cheap plastic type) I drove to a different Target and found one more and my sweet hubby pick up 2 more on his way home from work) With 4 children ages 12-4 I have a lot of work to do to REDUCE the collection of saved school work.

You are very disciplined, and can manage the paper coming and going from school, so it may not seem like a lot. But if you stopped just for a day or two, you may notice how much there really is. But every school is different. Our personal situation means each kid comes home with 5-10 papers per day. They each have a "take home" folder assigned by the school that is to be emptied each night. From there, it is our job to determine what to do with all of those papers. This is anything from work completed to newsletters, calendars, reminders, assignments and long and short term projects. If not dealt with each and every day, then all the sudden there are 30+ papers in a stack. Within a day or two. I call that a monster that I now have a system to maintain. The new system helps me be disciplined and ensure that the papers have a home that we all understand, and that they don't become endless paper piles on the end of a counter or attached to the fridge. This system also ensures the kids know where to find things, and have their own box each night when working on their assignments.<br /><br />Because everyone is in a different situation, the best solution may not always be the same for everyone and can be adapted differently.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />JenIHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.com
