Great Tips for Organization!

By Shane J.
A file box with folders is a great way to organize papers.
I use this system, and you should try it too.




First, I got a box. It is portable, and folders hang in it. Second, there are folders that can separate papers into different subjects. They hang from the black box. Last but not least, are the very important tabs. Their job is to let you know what is in each folder. For example, I have a tab for Math. Inside the Math folder are papers for the current chapter and papers I might need for the future. I even have sticky notes for upcoming tests! I can change or add tabs to my folders whenever I need to. Overall, my folder system has been very helpful, and I know it will be helpful for upper grade levels.


Do you think this system would work for you?

How do you stay on track?

  2. Dear Shane J.,

    I do have one of those at home, alas it is not a school one, it is an art work one. I use bins for my school work instead! Great job on your post!

  5. Dear Shane J.,

    I think your idea is fantastic! Believe it or not, I actually bought Alasia a really cool file cabinet for the third grade but unfortunately, "we" never utilized it to the maximum.:( But, I will say that you are definitely on the right track and we will have to MAKE sure she uses hers to the fullest for upcoming grades.

    Thanks for Sharing!!!

    Regards,
    Alasia's Mom... :)

  8. @Garrison,

    To answer your question, no, I did not use this system all year. I created it near the end of the year, and it has been successful.

    Sincerely,
    Shane J.

    We think it is great that you have all your school work under control, but we have a question for you. Do your papers ever get out of order?
