Well school has started off amazing! Even though it has been so hot, at least we have gotten a few heat days. My class is awesome, I seriously think I have the best third grade class at our school. They are so smart and they amaze me each day! I absolutely love having a SMART Board in my room and so do the kids. I have just started getting used to using it and have tried doing a few different things with it. The main thing I have used it for is math, just because the students can manipulate objects on it by moving them all around, it makes for a great visual and hands-on activity. I also like it because I can save all of their work and then refer back to it the next day to begin a lesson. My mentor is slowly showing me a few things every other day or so, just so I don't get overwhelmed with all that it is possible of doing. She is fantastic about helping me figure things out. Overall, I am excited to learn more and more about the SMART Board and integrate it into the curriculum throughout the school year!
