After yesterday and today, I feel so much more confident about teaching and using her songs in my class. I was planning on incorporating them into our language curriculum, which I've worked on, daily, to get on Smart Notebook. I'm really looking forward to next school year and adding these great ideas and songs. Now, if only I can remember all these great ideas. Yes, I wrote them down, but how often do you go to a conference/workshop, write down tons of great ideas, then read them later, and ask yourself "What did I mean by that scribble?" I WILL use the great ideas I learned! ~that is the mantra for next school year.
I would love to share all the work that I've done to make the language curriculum available on Smart, but since I can't put up those files (as the work is not mine to give away), I've decided to share the few slides of Smart Notebook that I created to practice ABC order. On these slides, I change the words weekly to our sight words, and then work (whole group) to put them in ABC order. Once we've done it several times as a group, I give students their own copies, and we do it whole group and individually. Lastly, I let them try it individually, and go over the answers whole group. Always my class has done well with ABC order, and it's interactive with the board, which the kids love!
