Is organizing the explosion of homeschool work a challenge for you, too? Finally, a real solution! This semester I bought this awesome Cynthia Rowley bin at Staples ($13). It looks gorgeous on our shelf. But it's completely functional, too!
Inside are hidden oversized clear envelopes/pouches, also from Staples. Love how they are so spacious that letter-sized and larger items easily fit inside. I've been trying to adapt traditional folders and pockets for some time -- but containing all our projects, worksheets, and application work has been impossible!
The clear plastic makes finding the right subject a snap, plus it's a breeze to keep work clean. Smaller and irregular-shaped objects are safe inside. No worries about losing anything because the zipper closure is super secure. And, the bottom gusset provides expansion capability. At $4 each, they are so worth it!
Clutter, be gone ;)
As you can see, the bin is fairly tall so there is little chance of it reaching capacity anytime soon. M loves this system and never has any trouble putting her work away. I love not having papers and application work everywhere!
Our clear envelopes hold primarily Science, History, Cursive, Vocabulary, and unit work. Other subjects are mostly self contained in workbooks or composition books. This is my absolute favorite way of organizing work now. I hope it helps you, too!
