Faux Whiteboard- Covering that dreaded chalkboard!!

My classroom dilemma year after year- a huge green chalkboard!  Green just isn’t my color and the opposite side of the classroom is a huge whiteboard.  I feel that I always need things to be symmetric so the green just doesn’t cut it. 

For the past two years I covered the green chalkboard with white paper.  It works for a while, but then it starts to get bumpy and unappealing!  So, each year I have had to take everything off it and replace the paper. So, this year I was on a mission to ease my year after year hardship! I needed something to cover this green chalkboard! So,  I found this white contact/stick paper at Lowe’s for $10/ roll.  Here is the board almost finished, sorry forgot a true before picture!

Almost done….better already!

Finished…so much better!!!

One last tid-bit!  Most of you have already mastered every trick there is but sometimes I surprise myself!! HA! Anyway, last Summer I realized it was smart to mark the backs of the border pieces as you take them down like {right, left, top, bottom, middle}.  This makes the puzzle of putting them back up much easier!  This is especially great for hallway bulletin boards that you use year after year.

Let me know if you have a chalkboard…whose days are numbered!!
