Here is a picture of my SMART Board.  It is connected to the computer on my desk and also to a projector on the ceiling.  It's kind of like having a giant computer screen that you can touch and write on.  I have made and found many resources to use with the SMART Board.  The students and I use it every day. 

This is a picture of the Elmo.  It is also connected to the projector and SMART Board.  It's kind of like an overhead projector, but you don't need things on overhead film.  You can put anything on the Elmo and it will be projected on the SMART Board.  I can put any worksheet, picture, book, object, etc. and it can be projected on the board in color.

Here is an example of our Morning Message.  Sometimes I have the message written ahead of time and students help me correct it, or we write the message together.

Here is our tooth graph and tally chart.  When students lose a tooth, they can put a tooth in the right column, and make a tally mark on the right month.

Here is an example of Making Words.  Students have letters at their seats, and we make the words on the board.  Then we sort the words.

This is a dice.  I put our word wall words on it.  When the kids click the dice it rolls and lands on a word, and then they read the word.

I have made a Power Point of the Phonics Dance that we do in class.  It has little rhymes and movements for each letter to help remember sounds of the letters.

II make a Power Point for each student when he/she is Student of the Week.  The students come up to the board and tell the class about themselves.

Here is an example of a Spiral Review.  We review our math concepts throughout the year.  Students use their white boards to answer the problems.

Here is an example of our Problem of the Day.  These are from the Scott Foresman series.  Students use their white boards to answer the problems.

This is a math lesson where the students click on the spinner, and whatever color it lands on they make a tally mark in the chart.

We do lots of our math lessons on the SMART Board.  The students love to come up and write on the board .

I do my science review for tests on the SMART Board.

During snack we listen to books that are read aloud online while they show the book.
