I'm not sure if it was the 7 years with little ones or my inability to sit still that made the decision so easy, but I don't miss it. I, too, have great little bins that help me stay organized and ready for my students to visit me at my teacher table. You have great ideas and organization is key when making this move! People keep asking me where my teacher desk is, and I tell them it takes up too much space. For all those out there trying to decide...just do it! :-) Melissa B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17807522381710292138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735027640464141339.post-23170462599799784772013-02-27T21:01:56.765-05:002013-02-27T21:01:56.765-05:00I need more information on the "tool box"...I need more information on the "tool box".

I found this post last night and was inspired! I have wanted to get rid of my big clunky desk for a while, but wasn't sure how to go about doing that.. Thanks for the fabulous pictures that encouraged me to just go for it. I am SO happy with the final product!<br /><br />Ashley<br />That's So Second Grade<br />www.secondgradeparadise.blogspot.comThe Writing Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00240877691362330249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735027640464141339.post-11227327278201024752013-02-22T23:22:46.236-05:002013-02-22T23:22:46.236-05:00I just got rid of my desk today and joined the tea...I just got rid of my desk today and joined the teacher table club! So far, I am loving it and can't wait to give it a spin on Monday! I literally thought this exact thing when I left school today -- how I wished my assistant would get rid of her desk.. However, she uses it all day long and would be lost without it.

I apparently can't make up my mind! This year we got "desks" but they were more just a space for our computer...My small group table ends up taking the hit with my papers, etc. Soooo, I've been trying and trying to get more organized to keep away the daily accumulations! :) I'm taking in 2 3-drawer tubs to help after this break. Let's hope it works! Seriously though.. a cleaner, clutter-free table top makes for a happier teacher! :)<br /><br />Carly <br /><a href="http://www.firstgradefabulosity.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">First Grade Fabulosity</a> Carly Wizemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994938824478925167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735027640464141339.post-34637770916324178772013-01-03T10:31:39.028-05:002013-01-03T10:31:39.028-05:00I love your organization! :) Makes my heart smile....I love your organization! :) Makes my heart smile.<br /><br />Kimberly<br /><a href="http://www.the-learningtree.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Learning Tree</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410054874307388693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735027640464141339.post-15958136623426262882013-01-02T22:27:34.384-05:002013-01-02T22:27:34.384-05:00Our assistants have desks too and I wish we could ...Our assistants have desks too and I wish we could get rid of them especially since my assistants is super cluttered, unorganized, and not full!

I have shelves and items that keep all of my belongings, just like you, and it works great! Our assistants have desks on the rooms and I wish we could replace them with a table, but we are not allowed!
