Tried It Tuesday: Filing System

I'm excited to be linking up with the sweetest ever Holly from Fourth Grade Flipper for her Tried It Tuesday!  It's a place for us to share what we've tried that has worked and hasn't worked. It's great hearing others' perspectives and ideas on things we're all wondering about!

I've tried the following filing system since my first year of teaching:


I have my files in three different crates: writing portfolios, student portfolios, and graded papers. The writing portfolios contain writing samples and finished products. The student portfolios contain important student information, parent conferences, student work samples, written communication from parents, etc.  And of course, the graded papers holds the papers sent home each week. It's organized and it works, but I'm wondering if there's something better that someone else has tried. I've made new covers to make them look cuter next year, but I'd love a system to take less space (I have about 3 feet over to the right of those crates and that's it-that's all of our counter space!). I probably could combine writing and student portfolios, but I'm interested to see how everyone else stores these files. Any suggestions/tips would are welcomed!!!

There's only a couple hours left to try to win this treasure from my BBB Jivey!
