I saw a post on pinterest about taking those IKEA magazine boxes and making a construction paper holder out of them. I've been wanted to try that since my current construction paper holder (or whatever they may be technically called) is on it's last leg!

I purchase bright blue plastic zip pouches from Walmart each school year. Theses become my communication folders between the parents and myself. Students know they’re not to open the folder. This allows the parents to send in money or notes. It also allows me to surprise the students with praise even if their parent works too late for me to call.
