Magnetic Board!

I found this idea on Pinterest last summer.  I created my own version!!!!

I bought this:

Then, I spray painted with light blue spray paint.

Then, I drilled screws in each corner and drilled it into my classroom wall.  (shhh… don’t tell my school!)

I love this.  I use this as an interactive activity.  Students match the magnet letters to the flashcards that are taped on the magentic board.  I also have many other games we play using this.  We do relay races to incorporate movement with the letters, we time how fast a student can do it etc.

There are many uses for this little project.  I change it every month.  Last month I had numbers up!  Prior to that, I had student school pictures taped up.  Student’s had to use the magnetic letters to spell their friends names.
