I went to the TpT conference in Vegas a few weeks ago and I fell in love with a new product- a paddle style dry erase board from KleenSlate! The best thing about the paddle is that you can easily interchange the background to fit your lesson. In the past I have always just used sheet protectors, but this is so much better. I can’t wait to start using them. I have already created some backgrounds that I plan to use for the upcoming school year. I recently began working with groups of homeschooled children and I know that they will be very engaged. The KleenSlate is such a simple way to make interacting in class so much more fun! I’m hopping that this product provides my more shy students with an opportunity to participate effortlessly. I love the flexibility and quality of the product. I have started my collection of templates here.
