Optimum Organization Linky- Organizing Student Papers

Hi Sweet Friends!

I am loving all of the fabulous organizational ideas I have been reading about through the Optimum Organization Linky Party.  Now that I've finally been able to get into my classroom to take some pictures, I couldn't wait to link up with Ladybug's Teacher Files and Fun in Room 4B for

I thought I would share with you my organizational system for copies, graded papers, and student work.

1.  Copies

These are book boxes that I have labeled with days of the week.  These are where I keep my copies for the week.  They are easy to access and also make it easy for a sub to find needed copies.  I cut out colored scrapbook paper that matched my classroom decor to put on the spine of the book boxes.  Then I printed out the days of the week.   This idea came from the Clutter Free Classroom.

2.  Graded Papers

I know it's not very pretty, but it works really well.  In our district, all important communication and student papers are sent home in a "Friday Folder" at the end of the school week.  To organize all of this information quickly so that it isn't overwhelming at the end of the week, I have a hanging file folder for each student in a crate.  This is where I place all graded papers and other communication forms from our school.  Then at the end of the week a parent volunteer places these papers in each student's Friday Folder.

3. Student Work

I purchased these plastic trays from the Dollar Tree.  I attached labels for each of the subject areas onto the baskets.  These baskets are placed along a shelf at the back of the classroom.  This is where my student's place their classwork when completed.

I would love to hear how you organize graded papers and classwork completed by your students.
