Mailbox Idea

I think it is a neat idea to have this set up in a classroom. This picture is also from Pinterest. :) You guys should check this site out if you aren't already on it. You can find some many cool ideas on here.

My idea is to put these in the corner of the classroom. Five different colored holders, with the folders inside. Instead of the Monday through Friday labels, I would label them with letters of the alphabet for last names. Example: A-E,and so on til Z. Then the folders will each have the students names on them, in alphabetical order. In these folders, I can put their work for the day. Then as they come in they'll get their folder and go to their desk. This will make it easier to manage the classroom. I would not have to spend time passing out papers. The students will already have their work as soon as they sit down. I can also put missed work in these folders for students who have been absent. That way they won't have to waste time coming to me and finding all of their missed work. I think this will be a useful tool to utilize in class. I look forward to trying it out!
