I just made a simple reading log for Gracie and thought I would share it with you!

I made it as simple as can be (I think kids like simple)!  I just used printer paper and a permanent marker.

I numbered each line and left enough space for her to write the name of the book that she read.

I added a little start at the end to show that it is prize time!  I thought I would give her a little something at the end for motivation.  I am thinking a new book (they have them really cheap at the Goodwill) or a trip to her favorite park-something cheap and fun is a great reward!

I made sure to include her name to make it special.

I also had to give her her own clipboard, just like her Momma!

Clipboard make everything more fun, right?

Well, she is one happy girl!

Now, let’s get reading!!  (She is really into Dr. Seuss lately!)

Do you use a reading log?  How do you like it?

What books do your kids love to read?

Well, it is that time of year… you know, when school ends!  I am excited and sad at the same time!!!

Today, I am going to show you how I organized all my daughter’s school papers.

Welcome to Week 14 of our Organize your Life series!

I am following the book Organize Now!  for my weekly posts but today (because school ends tomorrow),  I will show you what I did this week instead of my weekly challenge.

I already showed you here, how I keep a file for each child.  Each day, when Grace brought home her work,  I would hang them on the fridge.  After that, I would save them in her file.

 

Yesterday, she brought  home a bag of artwork and worksheets from school so I thought we would make our binder.

I took out everything that I had and we got to work!

 

I picked up some sheet protectors (to protect her work) and a new binder.

 

We started to fill the sheets.

 

It was a lot of fun looking through everything! :)

 

I LOVED this Mother’s Day Poem that her class made for us Moms! :)

 

Grace really liked helping me and looking at all  of her work too!

 

Since her favorite color is pink, we used pink scrapbook paper to decorate the binder.

I also printed out a K (for kindergarten) and her name.

 

Now, we have a nice binder to look at.

 

I love this one picture…

Grace LOVES her book and she has looked at it a million times already, ha!

My challenge for you this week is to make a keepsake binder, box or something like that for your children/grandchildren’s school work and post to here! 

I can’t wait to see them! :)

Please post up your organizing project of the week below!

 

Have a great day! :)
