Teacher Hacks (SmartBoard "pen"+To-do List)

SmartBoard "pen"
You'll need a small blaster (from dollar tree) and a pom-pom with some long lasting glue (i.e. gorilla glue, epoxy).
Make sure to put glue around the tip of the blaster (don't cover the tip cause as you extend the blaster,  the air will need to escape).
Voila! You have an extendable "pen" for your SmartBoard!

To-do List
Ikea Flinka frames (as in the pic) are no longer available but frame options are endless. Here are some super cute options: Ribba, Nyttja--just a few from Ikea. Pick out some scrapbook paper for the background. Then, print a "list" and with a dry erase marker, you can write and cross off 'til your heart's desire!
