Where am I?
SMART Board Info
The duck room was lucky enough to obtain one of the SMART boards taken from an elementary school who is no longer using it. We will be piloting the use of the SMART board for this school year to experiment with ways to use this type of technology with preschoolers. The following are some examples of how we are using it so far. Check back often as I wll continue to add information as the year goes on.

This week we talked about transportation. The teacher gave us a clue and we had to circle the right vehicle. Then we used the eraser to erase it.

As an extension to Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, the children were able to use the SMART board to circle letters and then tell the letter name and sound it makes and a word that starts with that letter.
The children also used the SMART board for playing the computer game, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. This allows more children to participate at one time and also takes away the difficulty of using a mouse.

Here we are working on correct letter formation during Handwriting Without Tears. She is standing to the side so her shadow does not get in the way.
Here, another student has just finished the Handwriting Without Tears activity and is using the letters at the top as a model for her letter writing. Instead of standing to the side, she is writing above her shadow.
