Inspiration for the day: Tabletop Organizer!
I saw this post on A Bowl Full of Lemons and absolutely loved the idea of reorganizing my “go to” section on my teacher desk.
I got the filing basket at Target and it came with super cute file dividers!
I labeled the dividers with the 5 different piles that always seemed to be on my desk!
1. To Copy
2. To Do
3. To File
4. To Send Home
5. Next week
On the front, I added my weekly plans. I attached the plans to rings so that I can easily access future weeks and then clipped the plans onto the front of the filing basket so that I can easily remove it for planning days or when I need to add or change something. {Easily seems to be my theme here!}
Then I printed out the adorable Teacher To Do list that Michelle at Fabulous in First shared, glued it onto pink polka dot paper and laminated it. I wrote on it with a wet erase marker (vis-a-vis) so that I can easily erase my to-do list when it’s to-done!
I am so excited about my new organization tool! I’ve already put it to use! Now I just have to figure out how to get it from the files to the proper place…
Love it!! I'm so doing this this weekend!! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Good work! I love organization, but you wouldn't know it if you looked at my desk/classroom! Eek! Piles and piles o' stuff!
Oh I just love this! Thank you SO much for sharing! This will definitely be on my to do list on vacation next week 🙂 🙂
I love this idea! I think I am going to implement it in my kitchen for sorting and filing (bills, coupons, etc.) I have been trying to brainstorm for good ideas. Thanks for joining our blog hop. Hope you can visit my blog some time: http://allaboutbeinginspired.blogspot.com
I love this idea, ever since I saw it a few weeks ago. I might need 2 of them to get me really organized, but this is on my to do list!

It's Wonderful Hadar. I am still working on mine in my head. I have not made it to Target to get my box either. At this rate I should aim for next year.

great minds think alike!!! I LOVE this idea. So wish I had a target here in the city. Will be begging my mom to get me a file box. Thanks for the inspiration.

I love it when someone comes up with a solution to my problems. Last year, I always had stacks on my desk for the exact items you have on the tabs! Duh! So obvious! Why didn't I think of this! Found you through Pinterest!
I love this idea! Is there anywhere on your blog that you have your lesson plan format posted? I would love to see how yours looks compared to mine…thanks for sharing this idea!
Great idea Beloved! I linked up my weekly lesson plans above 🙂
Just pinned this! I love the organization of it. My stuff gets piled and shoved and put away when I'm sick of seeing a huge stack of stuff I need to file.
This looks easy and clean!

Just thought you should know that when I clicked on the link from Pintrest it told me I may be going to a suspicious website.
