A Different Path: You let him draw... where?!?

A Different Path: You let him draw... where?!?: "Yep, that's right - on the dining room windows! Don't worry - they're window markers! I picked them up on impulse at Wal-Mart the othe..."

This is one of our favorite homeschooling tips and tricks! Windows make great white boards with dry erase markers. Our French Doors with a lot of small panes are wonderful for math problems (place values are easy when each column of windows corresponds to 1's, 10's etc.).

It also means the windows stay a little cleaner because they're getting erased all of the time. If the Geekling makes a window art I want to save, I just take a picture of it before erasing.

Are there any creative tricks you use in your daily homeschooling adventures?

  1. Thanks for the mention! I added you to my blogroll too. The blog "Almost Unschoolers" which I see we both follow, is FULL of the most creative and simple ideas. We used her masking tape roads idea the other day and it was a big hit. (They're still on my floor actually.)
