I encourage passing notes in class

Today, after our Math activity we had a few minutes of free time.  I told my kids they could draw on their whiteboards, but they couldn't talk.  If they wanted to talk to their friends, they could do so only by passing them a note on the whiteboard.  You could have heard a pin drop!  They wrote furiously for about 10 minutes.  Take a look!

 

 

It's hard to make out, but he wrote "Hi camera!"

Thanks to Mrs. Winder from Carl Junction for the GREAT idea!!
