Shaving Cream Clean-Ups

Gail Dacus, a sixth grade teacher at C.T. Walker Magnet School in Augusta, Georgia

Shaving cream will remove pencil and pen marks from desk tops. I put shaving cream on each child's desk and then we do some form of leaning activity with the cream. For example, I ask students to draw a picture that illustrates a certain fraction or geometric shape or they write their spelling words. The inexpensive kind works just as well as the expensive kind.
