Originally, everything got shoved into a draw and at the end of the school year, it got dumped into a box and took up residence in my closet. I got three large plastic containers (see thru) with lids...you will need more. Put each of their names on the containers and went through the many boxes picking out things that I thought I would need to save...it was less than you would think. Then I called the kids in to go through the boxes themselves and choose what they wanted to keep in their containers. They spent an hour going through, chatting and reminising and in the end, saved a few pictures and reports. I saved all of the awards. The containers now live in their closets and are theirs to do what they would like.black eyed susans kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214016311612642339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563650807041807078.post-4297078376939969752009-06-01T22:40:04.586-04:002009-06-01T22:40:04.586-04:00I feel absolutely terrible. My 5th grader just bro...I feel absolutely terrible. My 5th grader just brought home a bag full of crap and he asked if I wanted to keep a picture of a scarecrow, and I said no just pitch it. But it was just a scarecrow...that got trashed along with a ton of other stuff. I'd go with the tubs that someone else suggested. Or the scanning to make a book idea is good too. ????Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830179596215153756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563650807041807078.post-19818751094046013812009-06-01T17:57:26.274-04:002009-06-01T17:57:26.274-04:00You can scan everything and make them into a photb...You can scan everything and make them into a photbook with shutterfly!News Around The Blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637539954806402918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563650807041807078.post-12212735516353219902009-06-01T17:07:00.014-04:002009-06-01T17:07:00.014-04:00OH my stars I forgot all about that stuff they bri...OH my stars I forgot all about that stuff they bring home on the last day of school.<br /><br />I would get those plastic bins that you can get from Home Depot or Walmart. Get one for each child and in permanent marker just write their name on the lid. This, of course, takes up alot of room, but if you have a garage or basement maybe you can store them in there. <br /><br />I used to cram all that stuff in a closet too..now I wish I had been mroe organized back then. Oh well..I always have grandkids crap to organize..haha.<br /><br />Let us know what you come up with.Danielahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16570282120192466706noreply@blogger.com
