The whiteboards attached are regular whiteboards with magnets on the back. The same is true for the containers holding the markers. I use the business card sized magnets that are sold at Office Max. They hold up really well, and the magnets are easy to cut with scissors.
As you can see, I have been busy talking with the kiddos about getting along with peers, as well as classroom behavior. By having these questions posted it helps to open up conversation. The post-it notes are used by the students to write their answers/thoughts down, so we can discuss and identify problems. The answer to these questions are usually conflicting, which makes for great conversation! On a side note, the answers to the question, "How do others see you?" are usually pretty interesting. When the students read "others" they usually make the assumption that "others" is their friends. After they answer, I explain that "others" includes everyone...parents, teachers, ALL peers, siblings, etc. Another great opportunity for good and honest conversation!
