Dry Erase Love

Do your kids LOVE dry erase boards and markers? Mine do. I mean I could make the most boring lesson stellar just by letting them do their work on dry erase boards. Well, I was lucky enough to be able to review some dry erase pockets from My Binding. I received a set of 5 dry erase pockets and it couldn't have been at a better time. See, we were working on cursive and my kids needed to practice writing all their letters in more than just one word. (And what's even better is that at the same time as I got these, my school gave me 10 more- so now I have almost a full class set!!) So we started with just a couple words.  I told them to just practice writing words on their own, their name, anything, just to get used to writing.



And then I made them write me a paragraph about their favorite thing about third grade. A pretty menial task on a normal day, but being able to write it on these cool dry erase pockets, wow it was the best activity ever!!


And I promise you I did NOT tell them to write that I was their favorite thing about third grade. I just had the best kids this year, and I really will miss them! Thank you My Binding for letting me review this amazing product!! My kids saw them sitting on the table waiting to be used and were begging every day for when we could use them!

  1. Great ideas! I bought a class set of these over the summer at the Dollar Spot at Target and have not used them at all :( My thought was to use them for poetry. The kids can put their poem in the pocket and mark it up for certain words or features. Love the cursive and paragraph writing. I just might have my kids practice cursive tomorrow!

    1. HOW did I not see these in the dollar spot?! Maybe they will have them again this year so I can finish my class set. My kids really loved them. I have another idea for them for next year that I will share on the blog soon enough!

  3. I have some of these pockets as well and could not live without them! They are great for guided groups and I can save on copies :)

    1. Saving on copies is a BIG deal for me since we are limited to 400 a month!
