Field Trip/ Scholastic/ Money Collected

I read this idea on the internet and thought is was a great idea for keeping money, field trip forms, etc. organized. This teacher buys a box of mailing clasp envelopes and whenever she is collecting field trip permission slips, or field trip money she grabs one of these envelopes. She writes on the front what it is for and then prints out a class list and staples it to the front of the envelope. Whenever a student turns in a permission slip she puts it in the envelope and crosses off that students name. If a student turns in a permission slip and money she crosses off their name and writes "PAID" next to that childs name. She keeps all of the money in a smaller clasp envelope inside the larger envelope. This has worked well for her because it keeps all of the permission slips and money in one place, and also lets her easily see which students are missing forms and money. Traci Newton
