Re: where to buy mailbox for kids with compartments
JMO - if you are going to get mailboxes and you want them to last more than one year, spend the extra $ and get the wooden ones. the cardboard ones are not very durable, esp. if you are teaching at the elementary level. That being said, the wooden ones can get pricey...I actually paid someone to make them for me. If you live in Suffolk, there is a place in Holbrook called the Materials Resource CEnter - they may have them.
The website is here
IF not, maybe try ebay before actually looking in stores. Good luck!

I boought a wooden shoe caddy that you would put in your claoset. I got it fm Target and by chance it happened to be on sale that week. I've had it for 3 years already and it still looks like new.

Such a good idea, but don't the papers get all smooshed.. aren't they really small compartment?

I used a shoe caddy too one year when i first started teaching.It worked really well! The papers were always ok.
I have seen them in Really Good Stuff if you want to order online.

Nope, the papers are fine. They don't lie flat but you put them in in a "U" shape. Like I said I got it on sale at Target but I'm sure Walmart or Kmart have them too. I just jumped to buy it when I saw it when I probably could have got it cheaper at Walmart or Kmart.
