Cheap white board
By liketeaching1

Clip to ScrapBook   
At our school we have made "cheap" white boards by attaching white shower wall sheets (4 x 8 feet) right to the chalkboard. They are about $12 a sheet. They can be purchased at Lowes or Home Depot. We just add liquid nails
to the back and stick it on. Usually the metal trip at the top of the chalkboard will help to hold it down. We use drywall screws at the corners. However, they will not be magnetic. I'm sure if you want magnetic ones you're talking about a lot more $$$$.

(We also have Lowe's or Home Depot cut a sheet into individual dry erase boards. I cut mine so that I get 16 from one sheet).
I usually have new ones each year and send one home at the beginning of the year with each child to practice spelling words, etc. Parents say this is the best gift!
