Writing on the Desk!

When working with a child, a small group, or even a whole class (...only if you're really brave!), consider covering the desktop with plastic wrap (saran wrap---something that clings well) and having the student(s) work with dry erase markers.  They could be writing brief responses, working math problems, spelling words or writing definitions, etc.  It's novel and gets their attention and allows you to monitor easily to get formative information.  Saw this idea in the Scholastic Instructor mag. and thought it was a good one!)
