School organization -- HELP!
I have triplet grandchildren and my daughter-in-law has three full size
lockers in their back hall. She thinks way ahead as the babies aren't even 2 yet. For now she keeps their coats, shoes, etc. but when school time comes she's ready. They are metal and she's painted each name on one locker. The have hooks for coats and a shelf on top. Plenty of room in bottom for backpacks and notes or schedules can be put on the outside with a magnet. Just a bit of information from a grammy who reads your messages often and has learned a lot. You'll forget, you know!!!! |

School organization -- HELP!
Oh, thank you for this tip! Our boys have just started school this year, and
with them, their big sister and my work backpack (the big black one with the laptop inside) we have four backpacks looking for an organized home. I'm wondering where is the best place to find these stacking crates - maybe Staples? Walmart? Home Depot? Claudia (Alison 8/95; Timothy and Cameron 4/99) "Marie" wrote in message le.rogers.com... My friend with school age kids got stacking crates (the kind you can stack to make cubbyhole style shelves) beside where the coats hang. Kids walk in door, take off boots/shoes, put backpacks into their cubbyhole, hang up coat. Then my friend works with each child in turn, emptying backpack, organizing papers, etc. When homework is done, it goes *right* back into backpack and backpack goes into child's cubbyhole. Next morning, everything is ready for a quick exit at the start of the day. It took some training to get the kids to be consistent, but she finds the system works very well. Marie |
