    Buy sleeve protectors from the store. Usually these come in bulk and are really cheap. Look for the shiny plastic ones, not the ones with a matte finish. Make sure it can fit a standard piece of paper (8.5"x11" or A4).

    Insert a printed sheet of paper, instead. Ruled paper, graph paper, worksheets, and practice pages all work, and you or your students can change them out for different tasks.

    When you are done filling the sleeve protectors, add two sheets of white cardstock to the binder, one in the back and one in the front. They'll provide a firm surface to write on and protect items alongside the sheet from getting smudged.

Warnings

  • Make sure you wipe away all the dry erase marker from your board. If not, they could stay and when you rub them off, it could smear and look ugly.

  • Eventually these boards will get dirty. Just transfer all of the paper inside to a new sleeve protector.
