tip of the week (10/26/2008)

october 26 -- november 1, 2008
this weeks "tip of the week" was sent from Lucy in Hillsboro, NH

Lucy writes: "I purchased a small portable file box with a cover and added three different-colored hanging files to it--one for each of my school-aged kids.

When they empty out their backpacks, I look over their artwork and graded papers, and then have them immediately file them in their specific file folders.

During the holiday break we go through each child's folder, only keeping the best items. We do this again at the end of the year.

When school gets out for the summer, I put the 'keepers' into a large envelope labeled with the class year. The packet is then transferred into the child's own plastic covered bin for safekeeping and placed in storage for another year."
