Make your own wipe off sheets


Staples has heavy duty plastic page protectors on Back to School sale for $5 for a package of 80 this week.  I get very excited about school supplies, I don't know why.  I don't teach and I don't have anyone in my house in school.  What could I do with things, I asked myself... reusable worksheets I answered!  I'm super excited about this!  Worksheets, checklists, etc - slide them into a page protector and use a dry or wet erase marker to mark them up, then wipe with a piece of felt (and a little water for wet erase markers) and reuse. If you don't have a Staples, they are $4 for a package of 50 at Walmart, and dry erase markers can be found at the Dollar Tree. 

My first use - Eliana's "because you are a part of our family chore chart" pictured below.  We are teaching her that some work you do to contribute to the family and some work you do to get paid.  The chart above it is Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace Junior chore chart that we are using to list and track extra jobs she can do to earn money.

Page protectors will come in handy for reusing future homeschool worksheets!
