صورة
High-quality  dry erase painted walls  foster creative thinking and free expression among students in many ways. Creativity is an essential quality for children to gain at an early age, as it aids in developing their cognitive and emotional intelligence, helps them innovate and develop better problem-solving skills, and even allows them to feel more confident in expressing their ideas, opinions, and decisions throughout life. The following are some fun classroom exercises that can inspire your students to tap into their creative potential and learn new subject matter in the process. The “Wild Wednesday” Assignment Expands Children’s Empathy and Worldview Every “Wild Wednesday” during the school year, write a thought-provoking question for your students on the classroom’s dry erase wall. The question needs to be one that prompts the students to use their imaginations and visualizing skills while searching for an answer, and they’ll need to be prepared to share it with others as well.

Why is my pool turning white

صورة
Why is my fiberglass pool’s shell fading? This is a frequent question that fiberglass pool owners may have to deal with at some point. This dulling can start as a white film forming on the walls of the swimming pool and can also make the water seem hazy. The white film can also build up in the filter which will require frequent cleaning. This can happen to any fiberglass pool because of age, over doing chemical treatments (especially overchlorination) or more commonly, a combination of these concerns. If you view a film of white or greyish-white film on the sides of your pool around the waterline, that's calcium. Calcium can build up and leach into the pool’s gelcoat. As fiberglass swimming pools begin to get older the gelcoat or color will slowly fade to white over time. Calcium scale deposits occur when your water has too much calcium or from hard water. The white metal depostis are usually from calcium deposits that have built up over time. Keeping a beautiful fiberglass swimmin...

HOW TO TURN A CHALKBOARD INTO A DRY-ERASE BOARD

How to Turn a Chalkboard into a Dry-Erase Board Old school chalkboards produce loads of messy allergy-inducing dust and are difficult to erase and maintain easily. Besides, text and drawings done on chalkboards are often hard to see clearly, especially if the boards haven’t been cleaned recently and old chalk dust has been allowed to collect on the surface. So, if your school or office still has a collection of old-fashioned chalkboards in place, it may be high time to upgrade to more modern, hygienic, and easy-to-use writing surfaces such as dry-erase coated walls. Chalkboards are Being Phased out around the World For the past several decades, chalkboards have experienced a steady and rapid decline in worldwide popularity due to the rise of dry-erase and dry-erase coated walls. Nowadays, few people in business, education, medicine, or other fields choose to use traditional chalkboards because they’re messy to use, spread chalk dust around a room when written on, and require continuous...

APRIL: A MONTH OF RENEWAL AND REBIRTH April is a time of transition, a period of renewal and rebirth in the world of nature, coming when winter has just ended and spring is just beginning. For many writers, the month is a symbol of youth, freshness, and promise. However, for others, April brings back old memories and triggers nostalgia about the past. April is also an action-packed month, starting with the prankster’s holiday, All Fools’ Day followed by the moveable feast of Easter, and the major annual event known as Earth Day, which is celebrated worldwide on April 22 to show support for environmental conservation. What’s more, April is the month when spring really starts to gain momentum in many places – and for most people, that’s reason enough to be happy. One way to welcome the arrival of spring is to post uplifting quotes about April on your whiteboard-coated wall. Doing so can provide you with constant reminders of the season’s refreshing weather and the rebirth of plant and an...

How Many Coats Of Dry-Erase Paint Should I Use?

صورة
Introduction The manufacturer’s instructions that come with most standard types of paint, such as interior and exterior latex house paint, state that it’s necessary to apply at least two coats of their products to a substrate to obtain the optimal results; namely, a completely opaque, uniformly colored, durable, and cleanable surface. Similarly, many dry-erase coating companies advise applying two layers of their products to get the best effect; that is, a long-lasting surface that is easily written on with dry-erase markers and readily erased with standard dry-erase erasers or cloths. However, with ReMARKable dry erase paint, only one coat is required to obtain a highly resilient, impermeable, and easily written on and erased dry-erase surface that will last for ten or more years of regular use before needing to be replaced. ONE COAT OF STANDARD PAINT IS INSUFFICIENT FOR ADEQUATE COVERAGE In contrast, depending on the hue and condition of the surface to be painted, one coat of any sta...

WHITEBOARD WALL QUOTES FOR MARCH 2021 – REMARKABLE

صورة
MARCH: THE MONTH OF CHANGE AND IRISH LUCK According to the western calendar, the first day of spring falls on the 20th of March, a month that usually feels quite chilly, so during March, we begin living in Springtime while feeling that winter has not yet ended. Many who write about the month examine this two-sided quality by describing variable aspects of nature like cold weather changing to warm then back to cold, flowers starting to bud then being covered with snow, and gray skies turning blue then back to gray in a single day. If only Mother Nature would arrange for more regular spring-like conditions throughout March, we’d all be happier. But, as many commentators note, the month’s weather is unpredictable, and hopes of spring are often dashed by a sudden return to winter. However, despite its unpredictability, March can be seen as one of the cheeriest months of the year. Flowers and trees are budding, spring is on the way, and the major holiday, St. Patrick’s Day on March 17, offe...

WHITEBOARD WALL QUOTES FOR FEBRUARY 2021 – REMARKABLE

FEBRUARY: A TIME FOR LOVE AND WINTRY WEATHER February may be the year’s shortest month, but Valentine’s Day and Presidents’ Day guarantee that it isn’t overlooked on the way to spring. The word February is thought to come from the Latin name Februalia for the ancient Roman Festival of Purification. The root “februo” means “I purify by sacrifice.” Considering the challenging weather that occurs in many areas during February, it’s easy to see the month as a time of purification when frigid temperatures and dark skies test people’s spirit and determination. The Snow Moon is the name for the Full Moon in February, relating to the month’s often snowy weather. Some Native American tribes named it the Hunger Moon due to the scarce food sources available during the month, while another name is Storm Moon due to February’s blustery weather. Among the ancient Anglo-Saxons of Britain, February was known as “Sprout-kale” as it was the time of year when kale and cabbage first sprouted from the grou...
