Where Should I Put Graded School Papers?

Graded work in a shoe box

Want to reclaim space in your child's backpack or on your kitchen counter?


Finish checking over graded school work and give it to your child to file in a shoe box under your child's bed. When the 6/9 week grading period ends, recycle the contents of the box. There is no need to keep graded paperwork after the grading period is complete. This box of graded work can be a lifesaver if your child is missing a grade at the end of the grading period! And, this creates a good habit that can continue throughout years of schooling.


Added bonus! Children can personalize and decorate the shoe box.
