Integrating the Smart Board into a Kindergarten Classroom

Integrating the Smart Board into a Kindergarten Classroom

Thank you for visiting our teacher display at the 2008 eTech conference titled "Integrating the Smart Board into a Kindergarten Classroom". We hope you found our display helpful. Please find below a list of templates you can access and use for your own kindergarten routine.

Thanks,
Lisa & Chris...Kindergarten Teachers

A-Z Letter Templates (66.2 MB)
Use these templates to locate the specific letter within the poem. Listen to the letter song by pressing the picture for each poem. Kids can come up to the smart board and circle all of the letters found specific to the particular poem. For example the letter A poem is The Apple Tree...kids can circle all of the letter Aa's found and sing along to the song Apple Annie simply by clicking on the apple tree picture.

Lunch Count/Question of the Day (115 KB)
When our kids enter the classroom each day they need to let us know if they are buying their lunch or packing. They simply find their name and move the icon to the respective choice. Next, they click the arrow to move to the next screen and answer the question of the day by dragging their name into the box that best describes their answer.

Morning Calendar Routine (19.7 MB)
This series of templates is what we do during our entire calendar routine. It covers things such as calendar (monthly), weather, counting & tallies, birthdays, graphing, songs & movement participation, orientation to smart board writing, days of the week, months of the year, long & short vowels, patterning, and basic sight words.

Color Sort & Songs (17.3 MB)
Use these templates as you introduce the colors and have the kids circle objects for the colors you are learning. Touch the color word and the song will play for that color and the kids can sing along!

Holidays Around The World (1.5 MB)
We created these templates to learn about how other cultures celebrate their "Christmas" holiday. Each template shows the flag for the countries we "traveled" to and some specific points about their holiday. We used the airplane on the first template to prepare for departure and clicked on the website listed on pages 2 and 3 for the actual videos of take-offs and landings of airplanes. A great interactive series of templates!

Sight Words (1.09 MB)
As part of our writers workshop our kids utilize the smart board to practice the sight words of the week. They use the special markers to practice writing the sight words on the lines. These are just a few of our templates we use as sight words are being introduced.

Alphabet Chant (5.49 MB)
This template introduces the letters and has pages for capital as well as lower case. The kids can chant the letters and sounds as they look at the pictures that correlate with the correct beginning sound. Also, a template is here with vowels sounds both long and short that have pictures for each sound as well.
