My special education classroom is very small and crowded so I keep a hanging file folder for each student in a small file cabinet. Each one has access to his own file for his papers, journal, etc. and is responsible for keeping the room clean. I file back into it as I check journals, etc. The same file cabinet has room in the bottom drawer for supplies, copies, etc. for upcoming assignments for the week. This works for me since I am out of the room some hours, and another teacher occupies my room.
