Let's Write On Our Desk!

Today we were practicing writing our names on our paper. As we were working a student dropped his marker and it left a pretty big mark on his desk. He saw the look on my face and wiped it off. I was intrigued so I doodled on the desk a bit and it erased RIGHT OFF!!! With this new development we put away our boring old papers and we wrote ALL OVER OUR DESKS!!! This may have been the most fun they have had this year! :-) After we wrote names for awhile I let them draw whatever they would like and I even went around and would add a little something to their pictures! It was a blast for all of us!

Special Markers & Magic Erasers

At the beginning of the year we practice writing our names, A LOT! I make each student a page that has their first and last name dotted in so that they can trace. Under each name (first and last) there are lines for the student to practice writing it on their own. I have each page laminated. I gave each student a "special" marker (dry erase) and a "magic" eraser (Mr. Clean Magic Eraser). The kiddos LOVE getting to use their special markers and the magic eraser. They work so hard on this paper writing it all so that they can erase and do it all over again! They don't realize how much this is helping them write their name! Shhh! Don't tell!
