Whiteboard/wall space is extremely limited in my classroom because of all the lovely windows I have, so I have to try to find "workarounds." I use a small whiteboard underneath my document camera whenever I need to write things during class, and I portion out my space carefully on the big boards that do hang on my wall.
Newspaper needed more space, though, so I went back to Lowe's and got one more sheet of markerboard wainscotting. After a theatrical farce trying to get it cut, I brought it back to school today, wrapped the raw edges in black duct tape with little skulls (or, as I think of them, baby Yorricks), and hung them on the front of my locking metal cabinet with command strips.
(Just a sidenote about command strips. My whole teaching universe would collapse, literally and physically, if it weren't for command. Thank you, 3M people, for an awesome product.)
I am pretty pleased with the result. The staff has moved right in, and I think we will be more organized. Not bad for $10 and a few minutes spent playing with duct tape.....
