Thinking Inside the Box

Do you know what this is?
It’s my rainbow of organization! It’s our colored paper for projects and lapbooks all in one big FILE BOX

Wait…there’s more! This is my new BRAIN box. Another file box that contains lots of hanging folders– one for each month of the year. In each hanging folder, I have file folders for each book we hope to unit study this year.

Each folder contains all the printables, lesson plans, etc. that I need to do each unit study

I am not an organized person by nature, so I’m pretty excited about these two new tools.

If my sister (who is super-highly-over-the-top-organized) reads this post, she will probably pass out from heart failure or shock or wonder who I paid to make these boxes for me.

    I love organinzing all the papers / things needed to go with each book being done… I think I will get industrious and try it myself… Thanks so much for the idea…

    Ami,

    I love your "brain box" idea! I am totally stealing that one! I have a very tiny home and this will be the perfect way to organize all of our school ideas! I am working on our year now. Thanks for the idea!

    I love this system and need to do something like this at my house! I just have all my "I think we'll use this sometime soon" stuff in one folder and I hardly ever get to it!
