A teacher has posted smartboard files for math, reading, science, and social studies!

As I find new activities and resources, I will make a new post about it and add it to the column.<br /><br />Today, I found an AWESOME website! An elementary technology teacher has made ADORABLE calendar math files for the smartboard! I saved each month on my computer. I haven't looked at every month, but November and December were basically the same except for the graphics. She has really cute seasonal graphics. I can't wait to see this up on my smartboard! <br />Some of the stuff is too hard for kindergarten, so I deleted and changed some of the pages. For example, one page has a number generator and students are expected to write the number in expanded form, standard form, etc. I deleted that part of the page and we are going to use the number generator just to identify numbers. I could make a space for children to WRITE/copy the number after identifying it. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy!

I love teaching about nocturnal animals, lots of activities with pumpkins, and spiders. <br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/J_wuD4ZFaDE&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/J_wuD4ZFaDE&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />I love watching Disney's Legend of Sleepy Hollow! <br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aOPeJuvLJYs&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aOPeJuvLJYs&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />Check our the fall photography from the <a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/photography/2009/09/your-fall-bokeh/">Pioneer Woman </a><br /><br />Find a <a href="http://www.pumpkinpatchesandmore.org/index.php">pumpkin patch </a>near you! <br /> I ♥ October<br /><br />Suzi<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8332347244878191207-8451739744890381532?l=kindergartenapples.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17990718680126215096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332347244878191207.post-52965972514348413762009-09-26T08:00:00.001-07:002009-09-26T08:06:00.783-07:00We use Scott Foresman Reading Street and I found a WONDERFUL website. Waltke's Web has taken each week of SF and created powerpoints (which can be used on the smartboard), links to SF leveled readers (you can access these online to read on the smartboard), and links to games/videos/online stories that go with SF.<br /><br /><a href="http://classroom.jc-schools.net/waltkek/">http://classroom.jc-schools.net/waltkek/</a><br /><br />She also had great links for math!<br /><br />By the way, I'm a big fan of old Bugs Bunny cartoons. Enjoy....<br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/i1vH2rjUshk&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/i1vH2rjUshk&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8332347244878191207-5296597251434841376?l=kindergartenapples.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17990718680126215096noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8332347244878191207.post-35605905849557013372009-09-25T17:01:00.000-07:002009-11-18T16:51:24.678-08:00I am addicted to the internet. I love reading about teachers, their classrooms, their rants...their lives in general. I am the "queen" of finding new lesson plan ideas on the internet. So....I decided to start my own blog. I want to be able to post links and pictures of all the neat-o things I find on the web and I'm SURE there will an occasional rant on here. <br /><br />I am also a Smart Board junkie. This is the first year that we ALL have smart boards in our rooms. Yippee! I am in awe of all that we can do on it. Every week, I find more ways to use it in my classroom. Yesterday, I found this website....<br /><br />Wait!!! Before I post the link, I want you to be aware that she has some "technical difficulties" occasionally. I think it's because so many people use it - something about bandwidth. In the evening, I am able to get on with no problem. She has created MANY smart board activities for kindergarten. Enjoy!<br /><a href="http://teachnic2.googlepages.com/home">http://teachnic2.googlepages.com/home</a><br /><br />Suzi<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8332347244878191207-3560590584955701337?l=kindergartenapples.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Susanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17990718680126215096noreply@blogger.com0
