Writing words, solving math problems, practicing spelling words are just a few of the things students write every day.  It can be boring as a teacher and even more boring as a kid.  Which brings us to this weeks TEACHER TIP!

Dry erase markers are probably my favorite school supply!  I love to use them in math, phonics, writing, you name it. 

​I have found that writing on the table with dry erase markers is the best!  You don't have to pass out white boards and students are engaged and eager to participate!  It is easier to erase with your finger and fix a mistake than to erase with pencil on paper.

I have even given spelling tests this way!  I ask the students to write the words on the table in front of them and go around and mark how many words they got right.  Students are invested and there are no papers to grade!

Clean up is pretty easy- I used clorox wipes or if I didn't have any hand sanitizer and a paper towel.  I've also used it as an incentive by choosing a student at each table who has done a great job to wipe away the dry erase marker.

Have you tried this in your classroom?  How has it worked?  I'd love to hear your ideas!
