I can't believe that it is already August! That means time to get ready for a new school year. The project that I am currently working on is cubbies for my students' papers. I think that cubbies are the easiest way to store children's work. They are always in the same place. This gives the students and parents an easy routine to pick up work and notes. It also becomes very obvious who is not remembering to pick up work and notes.
In the past I have only had a folder for each child's papers. It wasn't a bad system until we had wet projects! Where can we keep the projects so they are out of the way, but spread out so they can dry? If each student has their own cubby, it is easy to simply place each students' project on top of their cubby.
So I am on a tight budget. If you look up cubbies online or in the stores, they can be very expensive!!! So I have chosen to make mine. I am using the medium postage boxes. I will update you on how the project goes!
