Technology in the classroom

The children in our classroom have many opportunities to explore technology.  They explore various educational programs on the I-Pads.  The SmartBoard is another tool used to learn math and language concepts as well as various other subject areas.  The children delight in having their name written on the SmartBoard.  The child's name is made into a cheer where individual letters are pointed out.  We look for letters that are the same, we count the letters and we point out other friends in the classroom who begin with the same letter.  This is a fun way to learn our letters!  We also explore the sound that the letters make and find other words that begin with the same sound.
