Organization Question

[cam112198]

What do you do with your child's work when he/she is done with it? Do you file it behind a subject folder? Do you put it in a binder? Do you have an inbox?

 

Just curious. I'm trying to be more organized this year! :lol:

Last year my kids each had a folder where they kept work to be done and finished work. At the end of the week I'd file it in their respective binders. I'm thinking that this year I will have them file their own papers in their binders as soon as they are finished.

3 ring binders for each child by subject.

 

I print out spine labels and let them decorate them.

 

Filing is my accountability check.

I save tests only for spelling, grammar and math. They are stored in a binder -- one per child.

 

I then have a binder for history and one for science -- one per child.

 

I just have no need to save every math lesson and such.

I dump it in a basket then once a year pull out the best (or most representative bits) to make up a 100-page clear book. Then I throw the rest away.

Busy work/worksheets go in the trash. Notebooking pages, experiment results, projects, lapbooks, nice work, etc go into a binder that has subject tabs.

 

The spelling and grammar notebooking pages were used to create guides to spelling and grammar.:001_smile:

I do pretty much the same as everyone else who responded. :) I have the kids put there stuff in an inbox on my shelf, then during the weekend I file it in big 4 inch binders (one per kid) with tabs for each subject.

 

At the end of the year I go through and keep a sampling of each subject to bring to Staples to be bound. I make a cute cover for it that has the kid's name, grade, and what year it is. I take pictures throughout the school year of all the projects they do and then put the photos in a collage and print a page or two that also get bound with their school papers.

I keep all their work in three ring binders. At the end of the year I will pull out a sampling for their portfolio reviews and throw out the rest. I am planning to do more projects and activities this year. Rather than save all that stuff I'll take a picture of it and throw the project away after a few weeks.

It worked well for us. Now I just need to get everything out and re-organized for THIS school year! ;)
