I have been trying to figure out what to do with all their school papers for 2 years now.
![]() ![]() ![]() So how do you do it? How do you determine what gets kept and what doesn't? ![]() -------------------- ~*Karen*~

I don't keep ANY of their homework, classroom worksheets, etc, they get thrown out the day I get them back home. I only keep special projects.....a paragraph they write about something, a project, etc. and I only keep the ones where they did a great job or something cute (like misspellings or funny/sweet/sentimental sentences).

I think Cary said she scanned the ones that she wanted to keep and then pitched the originals ... that way she could look at the digital image of it any time she wanted.
I'm not that motivated. I'm more like Monica and keep a few specail keepsakes and a few things for scrapbooking. -------------------- |

Yeah, I remember her saying that. I guess I want something tangible, you know, right there in my hands to look at when they are much older -- so that's why I don't scan them. -------------------- ~*Karen*~

And Dee Dee, don't take this the wrong way, but I would have taken you for someone who would keep all of Ashley's homework.

LOL -- not taken wrong at all. I actually keep her papers for awhile throughout the school year just in case she needs to reference them. But, I don't really keep the daily work after the year is complete. From last year, I kept the journal that she wrote in everyday at school, an autobiography she wrote, a hardback book that she created with her mass buddy from 8th grade, and a few seasonal art projects. I am sentimental about the work to a point, but it just becomes too much clutter. -------------------- |

You can do it! ![]() I used to keep it all, back in preK and just got tired of running out of room and having to find more ![]() eta: For artwork type stuff, I laminate it and make placemats for the grandparents. I also have the cheap box frames that are super easy to switch pictures in and out of and they have a few of those in their rooms and a few on the wall going up the stairs....we keep the ones they love in those and change them out when we want to.

We order school supplies through the school and when we get them they come in these nice flat, rectangle boxes that stack really well. I just put their stuff in those boxes and label it with the year. I save all art projects or special things and I save homework that shows a new skill they devleoped or something they really improved on. For example, I saved their first cursive writing. I save a paper that showed mastered math facts. But the daily stuff I have to get rid of. I think they chop down a forest for each child in the amount of papers they bring home.

Ok, you'd be proud of me ladies!!! I went back through the papers last night and got rid of a LOT more. I got it down to where two years will fit into one tub - the tub is the size of two shoe boxes, basically. So that's better than one year per tub.
![]() Thanks for the push....I need that often. ![]() ![]() -------------------- ~*Karen*~

Karen I'm like you it's going to be so hard to get rid of those things. I have a huge drawer filled with everything they've done in daycare so far and I can't fit anymore in it to be honest LOL! I know once school starts I'm going to want to save everything.

Good question. I have a wall in my pantry that really nobody sees but me when I am in the pantry and it is Jacks art wall. Anything he brought home from preschool that he liked as far as art is on the wall......the rest is thrown recklessly in a box - UGH.........MUST sort that out before K!
