There's a reason they call them "Whiteboards" and not "Ceramic Tile Boards."

Today, I made a giant graph on the floor. The kids were supposed to navigate across using their knowledge of domain and range not to step on any mines. Then we played 'Escape from East Berlin.' I told them where the holes were in the Berlin Wall in the form of X and Y intercepts.

I ran out of tape early and in the heat of the moment I grabbed a dry erase marker and tested it on the floor. It looked like it wiped up fairly easily.

It didn't. 


I burned more calories cleaning up from my lesson than I did teaching and planning it. Maybe it was because I left it there until the end of the day to clean up.

I won't know if the lesson was a huge success or not until the test. Hopefully something stuck other than the dry erase markers.

  1. We're so proud of you, though, for such a unique and fun way to teach your students! I wish I had had a teacher like that!
