Very simply, my kids keep clipboards for the week, but use 3-ring binders for cumulative information.
Weekly Clipboards
For weekly loose pages of all their assignments, clipboards have proven to be the best organizer.
Since the pages are needed continually throughout the entire week, the ease of merely transporting the clipboard that easily secures and releases the assignments has been most helpful.
Random loose paperwork usually entail: schedule for the week, math, spelling, science labs, map, writing projects, etc.
Generally, those items are kept in the clipboard in no specific order beyond keeping the schedule at the top.
All Latin and Bridge to the Latin Road assignments are secured within the binder provided by LRTEG, since they are reference works in progress.
Cumulative Notebooks
At the beginning of each week, all the old papers are secured into the cumulative notebooks, behind tabs of the categories: schedule for the week, math, spelling, science labs, map, writing projects, etc.
If for any reason anything is needed at a later time, they can be found.
Yearly Memory Book
At the end of the year, all the cumulative papers are sorted. Most items go into the trash. Some things might be kept.
After my kids studied the Ancient Cultures of the Mediterranean, they collected their favorite projects to put into a memory book that they showed off to extended family members curious about their schoolwork.
