Managing Small Whiteboards

by Julie

Jun 6, 2011

I have a class set of small whiteboards and markers that I would like to use with my students next year, but I’m not sure how to manage them. I’m not sure if I should have the students keep them in their desks which they could access quickly. I’ve also thought about keeping them in a tub and passing them out when we use them, but thought this procedure might end up being too time consuming. Would anyone be willing to share their procedure for managing whiteboards that you have successfully used in your classroom? Thank you very much!

If they're the cheap, shower boards from Home Depot that I have cut up, then they keep ...See More

cam Here's what works well for me. I have the kids each bring in a sock to use as an eraser. They love this, even in 5th grade. I store the boards. I have 2 types. One type is very thin and flat,and they are super easy to store as 20 of them fir in a small space. The others have a frame on them and are thicker, so they take up more space, but I still s...See More
