Happy New Year everyone! I hope your holidays were wonderful and that you were able to spend some quality time with family and friends! I've had the last couple days off from subbing due to a giant snowstorm that recently hit the Midwest. So during that time I've been working on updating the pages of my blog. I've been very busy, as I'm sure you all have, so you understand the lack of postings.
However, I hope to do better this year with posting things and sharing new ideas! I'll be spending a lot of time in the classroom this upcoming semester so I'll hopefully have a lot of great ideas to share!
Until then, here's a little something to tide you over:
This is what the teachers call, DIY erasers! I found this idea -of course- on Pinterest. It's a great way to have students work with white board markers without fighting over which color they get. This just uses long white socks, then stick one or two dry erase markers into each one and put them into a bin. This way, students don't know what color they're getting, and they can't fight about it. Also, the "marker holders" do double as erasers. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to start out with new socks at the beginning of each school year so the students can see that they started out as clean socks, and they're not Uncle Jerry's leftovers. :)
Enjoy!
