Okay, it's Thursday night, but I'm going to be really busy tomorrow, so I'm tackling this topic tonight. This week's Friday Meme at The Heart of the Matter is "Your Favorite Homeschooling Product". Hmmm. I don't use a lot of "products". We're very eclectic around here. But I think I came up with one thing: dry erase boards.
We've used dry erase boards for many things in our school work over the years. We've used small ones, medium ones, and one really large one for different things at various times. The smaller ones are great for one-on-one work, and the larger one is perfect for showing something to more than one child at a time. They can practice on the board, you can correct it and they can work again, and no paper is wasted in the process. Hey, that's "green"!
As a matter of fact, I just today bought a new medium sized board at Target (there are a lot on clearance right now, you might want to check for them there if you're in need of any) for using with school work. I got a medium one with a magnetic background. I'm thinking of doing this math project with sheet magnets, and using the magnets on the board where we can use the blocks and write all on the same surface.
So, what's your favorite product? Don't forget to check in at The Heart of the Matter to see what everyone else has to say - you might find a good idea for yourself!
(Pssst.... if you're a regular reader who likes to use the free notebooking pages I make, would you mind popping over to the last post and answering my poll about one-inch ruled notebooking paper? Thanks!)

LOL! We love Dry Erase boards. I bought personal sized ones at a school supply for $1.75 each! They have unfinished edges but work great. My kids will do anything if they can use a marker and white board. Thanks for sharing.

Dang! We don't have one yet. We do have a chalk board - - it comes in pretty handy - - but, a dry erase board sounds SO much better!! Hope I run into a clearance sale soon!! : )
Thanks for sharing!!

They're great, aren't they? When I was teaching in public school, my second classroom had white boards instead of chalk boards, and we loved, loved them! I have a small one that we're using right now as we're doing The Ordinary Parents' Guide to Teaching Reading. I'll have to look into getting some more sizes. Thanks for sharing!
