Every teacher I know, myself included, struggles with managing the mountains of paperwork that comes with the territory. I have tried just about everything to keep my desk tidy {I just love that word, it’s so under-used!} but it’s a constant battle. This cheap DIY classroom file organizer using a dishrack is a fantastic teaching hack!
Dish Drainer Classroom File Organizer
I am all about teaching hacks. Especially ones that are cheap and easy like this classroom file organizer using a dish rack.
Stacking file holders are great, but not only did I re-purpose mine, I found myself stuffing papers on the shelves just to get them out of the way.
I used to have one of those fabulous wall organizers in my old classroom but I no longer have the space for it.
I love things that are cheap, yet functional and this dish drainer turned file organizer certainly fits the bill. I like how I can quickly and easily put papers in the correct folders instead of just throwing them in a big pile.
This dish drainer only set me back about five dollars at my local big box store. How stinking cute would it look with some of those designer file folders that are in stores right now? Get thee to an office supply store now!
