White board

At the beginning of the school year I got the boys their own white board, and we all dig it. I got it because they were asking me to write down things they wanted to remember on my white board, which is not what should be happening. Now they have their own space.

The top half is Jordan's and the bottom half is Aaron's. They immediately made rules (visible on the center left of the board):

1. Have fun
2. Respect sides and colors
3. NO LYING
4. Get creative
5. No mixing colors

There is space to write things they need to do, and designated doodle space. There are many colors of pens. The board is magnetic as well so they can put up papers they need. There is an eraser (okay, a rag) on a magnetic clip, and when they accomplish something written on the board, they experience the joy of white-board-erasing. It's a good thing.
