Over the Christmas holiday I got a hankering to have a large whiteboard put up in the dining room where we do most of our "together" schooling.  I checked out the prices for the size that I wanted and decided, NO WAY! 

When the kids were much younger, someone told me about using the cheap shower board you could buy at Lowe's or Home Depot and she gave me some scrap of the one she had put up.  My father-in-law cut them into clipboard-size bits, sanded the edges and my children had mini whiteboards that I could use to do math or science problems on when they had a question. 

Well, I started pestering dear hubby for a BIG whiteboard over the holidays and last week I got my wish!

And all for less than $20!
