I did get smart the first year E was in school and put her work in page protectors and filed them in a 3-ring binder. That works great for 8 1/2 x 11 papers, but so many are larger than that. Truth be told, when we moved I haven't been able to get completely organized with it all and now I have TWO girls bringing work home.
I got my Lakeshore Learning Catalog last week and briefly flipped through it before throwing it away. (I haven't ordered anything from them except for O's alphabet puzzle.)
But, look what I found!
It's perfect for organizing each year's work and you can also get it personalized. Love that!I will say that I do NOT keep every single thing my children make. I try to choose things that would mean something to them when they get older - anything with a handprint, story, first time learning to write letters, etc. It would be too much to save every paper, but even being choosy leaves us with a lot to organize. This will help!

Thank you so much for sharing that, I saved stuff last year from Sams pre-k and now this year already a ton of stuff from K. Gonna have to order that and definitely pick and choose what needs to be saved and what doesnt!!
Thanks again!

GREAT product, Deidre. Thanks for sharing the link.
I usually save most everything throughout the year then cull through it every summer. I take pictures of all their art and only save 5-6 of the VERY best pieces. I burn the pics on a cd and store it with that child's school year stuff.
Now I think I need one of those portfolios to store each years stuff in...and I'll throw the cd in with it!
