organizing school papers
| Fri, 05-07-2004 - 11:02am |
Now we are about to the end of the year, I have stacks of my kids' preschool and school artwork and worksheets brought home from school. What do you all do to organize them? what do you keep and what do you throw away. There is no room in my house for everything. Any ideas?

My son received a personalized art organizer from the lillian vernon catalog as a birthday gift and it has helped. It's just a zipper portfolio case. At any rate, DS also has one drawer in his basement art supply caddy called "masterpieces" where he puts many of his works of art. When the drawer overflows, he has to weed through and throw a few things away. Periodically, I go through his school papers and home creations and select some to keep forever. I'd say we keep 10-20 things per year. The art portfolio we have will probably be sufficient to store about 150 pages, so it should last for years before it overflows. - Suzanne

For now I would suggest kind of the same thing..go through papers and only keep thigs that show mayjor progress and save a few special things..maybe children can chose 6 projects they want to keep.
I hope this helps some..sorry to ramble on.
