15 Fantastic Ideas for Organizing and Storing Children’s School Work

I have put together 15 of the best ideas for storing and organizing your children’s school work..

If you are a regular reader then you may have seen my big confession a couple of weeks ago .

About the disorganization. And mess….

Purging and organizing children's schoolwork.

And the difficulty I am encountering with purging and organizing and storing children’s school work. Well,  Maids.com also heard about my struggle with this comment problem and inspired me to find a great solution.

And where best to start when searching for a solution to an organizational issue? Pinterest, of course!

Now – don’t get me wrong. Sometimes Pinterest can be a nightmare. Too many beautiful, glossy, organized pictures that make me feel worse about my own lack-of-purging-organizing situation.

But you have to go there with the right mind-set, right? The “I’m-ready-to-tackle-this-problem-and-not-just-pin-ideas” mindset.

And today I have collected 15 of my favourite ideas for organizing and storing children’s school work , and I found that these methods generally fit within 5 key methods : bins, file systems, binders, portfolios, and digital albums.

5 key methods and 15 examples of how to organize children's school work poster.

Probably the fastest and easiest method for organizing and storing children’s school work is simply to place it by grade level into separate bins, boxes, or envelopes. While this method has the advantage of being quick and easy (and perhaps more likely to keep up with as a result of it being quick and easy), it also makes it more difficult to view the work again when you want to enjoy it.

Method Two:

Many of the solutions for organizing and storing children’s school work that I came across involved a filing system of some kind. The advantage here is that you could include all kinds of keepsakes and important documents in a file; and while it is easy to look things up by age or grade; files still don’t make for an easy viewing method. But it is definitely easy to put together and simple to keep organized and keep up with once you get it going.

I love this amazing filing system – plus she gives awesome details about keeping a photographic record as well at Honey We’re Home .

Labels such as kindergarten and pre-k.

Method Three:

The second most popular method for organizing and storing children’s school work that I found through my research was using some version of a binder storage method. This method has the advantage of being fairly easy to assemble and keep organized and also allows for very easy future viewing. The issue here is that all these binders could really begin to take up a lot of space. Also, larger pieces of art or larger projects can be difficult to store in a binder sleeve.

I like how easy it is to see the artwork and projects with this organized binder system – and she also gives some great tips about what to keep and what to purge at Davonne Parks.

Method Four

One method that I came across and really loved was this idea to use Artist Portfolios. I especially like the idea of using these pre-made porfolios that allow you to store larger art pieces then a traditional binder would. They also seem like they would be fairly easy to keep up with once you got the system into place, but could also end up taking up quite a bit of space depending on how well you purged your selections before storing them.

I love this idea of using an expandable art portfolio from A Thoughtful Place Blog

Method Five

The final method I came across for organizing and storing children’s school work was using a scanner and creating a digital scrapbook album of you children’s work. I absolutely love how gorgeous the finished product looks, and the books are definitely small enough that they are easy to store while also allowing for maximum viewing. But I’m not sure about actually getting rid of all the physical pieces. Isn’t there something special about actually holding the object in your hand?? It’s like that whole debate about books versus E-readers. There is something different about holding the actual object then having a digital image of it. While I love the gorgeous appeal of these types of scrapbooks, the jury is still out for me on whether I could actually purge the real-life-artwork. I might have to keep both the album and the original!

Did you find a little inspiration??

This is awesome! Pin it to remember it!

Although I haven’t quite tackled this issue yet, I do think I have a much clearer idea of where to go with this issue… and  I think I’ve decided what will work best for our family. I know that I’m ready to tackle this problem – it’s driving me bonkers!

But what do you think? Any inspiring ideas??

Next time that I discuss this topic I promise I will be sharing my solution! {Wish me luck on the process}

The method #5 is my favorite! Shutterfly or any other book printing would be a great gift for grandparents. Love it! I am currently using the binder and just save the best stuff in clear page holders. My daughter is now 12 and I think the longer it goes the more appreciative she will be that I saved her art. Another great idea, especially if you have multiple children, put the art in matching frames and just replace the pieces every month, have like a family exhibit of the month or quarter.

Thanks for sharing kids storage ideas for organizing and storing children school work. It will be helpful for every mother.

Krista, wow so many great ideas. Would love to add one more – The Keepy app – which helps parents to organize and save the artwork schoolwork and mementos even with voice and video narration.

Forgot to leave the link to https://www.keepy.me

Thanks Krista! This is a great list of options for organizing kids artwork! Your readers may also want to check out this post that includes a step-by-step guide to digitizing your kids’ artwork and transforming it into cool products like photo books using an app called Arkiver. http://blog.arkiver.com/2017/03/01/organize-kids-artwork/

I love keeping originals too. To sort, try a magazine box for each kid per year. That works well too.

Hi Krista,what are your thoughts on 3D objects. Do u still keep ones that take up space. I have a foam object covered in felt.not sure what to do with it.Any ideas?

Hi Krista! Thank you for including my system for organizing school work. What a great round-up. kindest, domonique

Absolutely BRILLIANT Krista! What Mama doesn’t need a great way to organize it all? Because, let’s face it, I’m not tossing a thing 😉

Haha Kristi, so much for the KonMar method on this one, right?!

Love all of these brilliant ideas, Krista! Organization just makes me giddy. 😉 Thanks so much for sharing!

Hi Abby! It will make me giddy when I finally get my own kid’s school work tackled too!! Thanks for your visit:)

I use manilla envelopes. Simple, cheap, and easy-to-label.

A great strategy as well – and then do you keep them all in a tote of some kind??

I love the idea of scanning and making a book but I love the originals too! I get rid of most papers and small things but keep anything with hand prints, foot prints or really nice work. A few writing samples to show growth but that’s about it. Mine are in a box, sorted by age for the most part. Some are framed and hanging in various rooms.

Sounds like you have it all figured out already! That is great. I spend so much time each year putting together a nicely organized scrapbook for my Kindergarten students to take home with all their key art pieces and writing, but I haven’t even done the same for my boys. Bad, right?!?

Schools hire bookkeepers to help them stay on budget, pay bills timely and keep accurate financial records. School bookkeepers are responsible for a school's accounts or general ledger, which they typically keep current using bookkeeping software. The projected job growth for school bookkeepers is 14 percent, which is equal to the rate of all other occupations, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

School bookkeepers need a high school diploma or equivalent and basic math and computer skills, including knowledge of spreadsheets or software designed for bookkeeping. Because bookkeeping fundamentals are necessary, many have on-the-job experience or their associate degree in accounting or bookkeeping. As of 2009, the BLS reported that 25 percent of these workers had an associate degree or higher, which is helpful in this competitive field.

Many school bookkeepers have earned certification as a bookkeeper through the American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers. Certification requires two years of bookkeeping experience, passing a written test and follow a code of ethics. Once you start to work for a school, many schools will teach you fundamentals such as double-entry bookkeeping, because each transaction has to be entered as a cost and a credit for accounts to balance. Many companies use their own specialized bookkeeping software which typically takes about six months to master after training.

In a school environment, bookkeepers typically handle all the school's financial transactions and record keeping, without the aid of an accounting clerk. Their essential job duties include entering data into online spreadsheets and databases; receiving and recording cash, checks and vouchers; posting debits and credits; producing financial reports such as balance sheets, income statements and account totals; and reconciling discrepancies or shortages. The school bookkeeper typically prepares bank deposits, verifies and balances receipts, pays and prepares invoices after approval by the principal and monitors overdue accounts. All of their financial duties must comply with Department of Education and school board polices.

Compensation

School bookkeepers are included in the category of bookkeepers, accountants and auditing clerks by the BLS. As of May 2010, this group earned a median annual salary of $34,030. Bookkeepers are typically considered the least skilled of these three groups, however, with median yearly earnings among the lowest 10 percent at $21,270. This compensation is based on a full-time position with the bookkeeper typically working the same hours the school is open. They may find themselves, however, putting in some overtime during peak times, such as the end of a fiscal year, tax time, or when end-of-the month or beginning-of-the-school-year reports are due.

Frequently Asked Questions

Let freshbooks crunch the #s for you

Yes! It’s completely possible to become a skilled and successful freelance bookkeeper without the need for a specialized degree or lengthy certification. While more education is always a bonus, many successful freelance bookkeepers start right out of secondary school.

Many people confuse accounting and bookkeeping . To be an accountant, you generally need education requirements like a bachelor’s degree in accounting. To be a bookkeeper, you don’t.

Simply put, bookkeepers are responsible for all financial activity and oversight of a business. They record and organize financial statements , ensure compliance with important tax rules, and facilitate all ingoing and outgoing payments on specific business accounts.

Most bookkeepers will have a few other responsibilities, including:

  • Generating and filing financial statements and reports
  • Keeping all financial records updated
  • Regularly reviewing important financial records
  • Creating and editing business budgets
  • Monitoring for any financial discrepancies
  • Handling payroll for employees
  • Overseeing accounts payable and receivable

Bookkeepers Vs Accountants

Bookkeepers are administrators first and foremost and are responsible for updating and maintaining financial transactions and reports. Accountants, on the other hand, are more like financial strategists. An accountant is the one to help the business owner make sense of their numbers, generate financial documents, and plan for the upcoming tax period. Accountants are required to have advanced certification, while bookkeepers are not.

In 2023, the average bookkeeper in the United States earned an annual salary of $43,748 . However, depending on a bookkeeper’s location, niche, and clients, they may command a higher salary, sometimes reaching $50,000 per year or above. 

You only need a few basic skills to get started in bookkeeping. These don’t require you to go to school or gain any special training, but they may be skills you’ll need to develop over time.

These skills can help set you up for success as a bookkeeper:

  • Math skills: You’ll regularly produce and maintain accurate financial reports for clients. Although technology does a lot of the calculations for you, basic math skills will help you determine if the numbers generated by the software are reasonable or if an error has occurred.
  • Computer skills: You’ll regularly use accounting software, bookkeeping software , and some form of a spreadsheet like Excel.
  • Time management skills: You’ll often have to go from client to client.
  • Attention to detail: Your day-to-day tasks will include regularly recording financial transactions where even being a couple of dollars off can be problematic. The data you input must be 100% compliant and accurate so your client can do tax returns easily.

You’ll be dealing with a lot of financial data and numbers in this career path. If you’re not a numbers person, it may be worth practicing some basic accounting and math skills to prepare for this type of career.

Step 1: Determine if You Want to Work From Home

As a bookkeeper, you’ll have three options:

  • Work as an employee in the office
  • Work as a virtual bookkeeping employee
  • Work as a virtual bookkeeper by starting your own bookkeeping business

If you want to become a bookkeeper and also start a bookkeeping business, there are a few things to consider.

Being Your Own Boss

As a business owner, you’ll have startup costs to consider. These include:

  • Bookkeeping software
  • Registering your business
  • Marketing expenses

As an independent business owner, you’ll have to learn how to do your freelancing taxes too.

Benefits of this option include potentially fewer hours, choosing how many clients you work with, and the freedom to partner with bookkeeping companies to free up even more time.

Working as an Employee

This is a great way to gain real-world experience as you become a bookkeeper and, potentially, a bookkeeping business owner. Previous work experience makes finding clients as a bookkeeping business owner much easier.

Bookkeeping jobs are flexible, so if you hate telecommuting, you can still work from home by looking for remote bookkeeping jobs.

Step 2: Gain bookkeeping skills

Some bookkeeping skills you’ll need to begin developing as you learn how to become a bookkeeper include:

  • Accounting software proficiency
  • Personal and business finance basics
  • Basics of tax returns
  • Financial reports

The good news is that you can do bookkeeping training from the comfort of your home. There are a lot of cheap bookkeeping courses online and a lot of free content too. You can find bookkeeping courses on standard bookkeeping work tools like bookkeeping software and financial reports.

If you’re looking for a cloud-based bookkeeping software that doesn’t require hours of training, try FreshBooks. It’s simple to work with, yet it doesn’t compromise on essential functions and features.

Click here to try FreshBooks for free.

Although you don’t need a bachelor’s degree, it can make you more competitive. Only 12% of entry-level bookkeepers have a bachelor’s degree, so having one is an easy way to gain an advantage. Consider a bachelor’s degree in accounting, business administration, or finance.

Step 3: Get First-Hand Bookkeeping Experience

Once you’ve had some bookkeeping training, you’re ready for real-world bookkeeping jobs or experience.

Finding Work as an Employee

Search through popular job sites. Pay attention to the job description to identify which jobs are remote bookkeeping jobs and which are in-house.

Another way to get valuable bookkeeping experience and on-the-job training is through an internship. You can then learn how to use multiple accounting software programs and work tools on the job. Internships can also provide ways for you to get your foot in the door with a specific organization.

Finding Clients for Your Bookkeeping Business

Never underestimate the power of word-of-mouth advertising. Mostly every business could find value in having someone look after their financial books and records. Spread the word.

Another way to find clients is through marketing yourself. Follow these tips:

  • Niche down: Choose to focus on a specific industry. This makes you stand out from the crowd if done correctly. Each industry has unique financial challenges when it comes to financial activities, so niching down allows you to become an expert to certain businesses quicker.
  • Write blogs: Write blogs that answer popular questions potential clients would have about bookkeeping to demonstrate your expertise.
  • Use LinkedIn: Become active in making connections and interacting with potential clients. Demonstrate your expertise by providing insightful posts, engaging with potential clients and their posts, and optimizing key sections of your profile.

Step 4: Research Bookkeeping Certifications

Once you’ve learned how to become a bookkeeper and have two years of work experience, you can become a certified bookkeeper. Becoming a certified bookkeeper requires passing an exam to get a bookkeeping certificate.

Becoming a certified bookkeeper enhances your credibility and increases your earning potential.

One organization to look into is The American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers . They provide bookkeeping certifications and training, which can officially make you a Certified Bookkeeper.

Another route to take is to look into the National Association of Certified Public Bookkeepers’ online Uniform Bookkeeper Certification Exam , which will also allow you to earn a bookkeeping certification to be a Certified Public Bookkeeper. You can take this exam from anywhere, as long as you have a reliable internet connection.

These exams test your knowledge of analyzing business transactions, payroll taxes, financial statements, and more.

Taking software-specific certifications can also enhance your credibility. These will help prove your expertise in specific bookkeeping and accounting software to clients.

As you can see, the steps of how to become a bookkeeper and creating your own virtual bookkeeping business are quite simple. Every bookkeeping skill you need to become a bookkeeper can be found in your home.

Maybe you enjoy the idea of being your own boss, or you’re still wondering if it’s for you. Check out this guide on how to start a bookkeeping business.

Professional bookkeepers are vital to their clients. Bookkeepers help clients manage finances, oversee the creation and filing of important financial reports, monitor financial transactions, and overall support the business’s financial health for the long term. 

If you’re interested in an analytical, business-minded career, becoming a bookkeeper (especially a virtual bookkeeper) might be the right choice. And with no requirements for special certification and education, there are almost no downsides to seeing if it’s a good fit.

FAQs on How to Become a Bookkeeper

More questions on how to become a bookkeeper? Here are some of the topic’s most frequently asked questions.

How long does it take to train as a bookkeeper?

Although you certainly can do formal bookkeeping training (e.g., online bookkeeping courses, relevant degree), many bookkeepers simply learn the ropes through on-the-job training. It usually takes about six months of practice to get the hang of it. 

Is a bookkeeping certificate worth it?

Possibly. Bookkeeping doesn’t require certification to practice, meaning you can teach yourself and start right away if you’re confident. However, more knowledge is always an asset, and a bookkeeping certificate can make your resume look more attractive, potentially helping you to gain clients.

Is bookkeeping a good side hustle?

Bookkeeping can be a great side hustle if you’re good at it and enjoy the work. Because you don’t need special certification to offer bookkeeping services, it’s simple to learn how to become a bookkeeper, and since you can easily run your own virtual bookkeeping service from home, there is a very low startup cost, meaning you’ll be profiting as soon as you start work.

What is a bookkeeper’s salary?

The average salary for a bookkeeper in the United States is about $43,000 per year. However, some bookkeepers can earn less (around $37,000) or more ($50,000 and above) depending on their bookkeeping skills, experience, location, niche, and the quality of their clients.

Is bookkeeping a stressful job?

Bookkeeping can be a stressful job, but it doesn’t have to be. There are high stakes when managing a business’s financial statements, which can lead to stress. However, if you have a rigorous organizational system and a solid knowledge of rules and regulations, it can be straightforward and easily manageable. Remote bookkeeping jobs also tend to be less stressful.
