As a mom of a kindergartner, one of the things I’ve been completely surprised with is the amount of papers! When I read this recent article in Apartment Therapy, I could completely relate.
Every night, we are getting 5-10 pieces of paper. Some are results of his school practice. Some include important school information. And some are program announcements, book offers, and general advice.
Already, we’ve accumulated a huge stack of paperwork.
There is a definite need to separate out the parent action items with his practice papers to keep and then recycle the rest.
But…what to do with all of his school papers that I keep?
A photo book, of course.
I’ve decided to photograph 10-12 papers each month and will photograph them and place them in my photo book.
Scanning is one option or you can set up a space on your table or a wall to photograph them in order to get a jpeg for your book.
One thing I noticed with his schoolwork is the need to practice writing. As a new writer, he is struggling with how to use the lines to create his letters.
So I created a guide with the kindergarten sight words that fade out so he can practice.
