In addition to the many high-quality printables offered by the folks at SuperTeacherWorksheets.com, they have also begun creating and sharing SMART Notebook files! The files are free to use and very well-made. You’ll love the worksheets that go along with each lesson as well. Currently, there are Notebook files for linear measurement (half inch, quarter inch, and eighth inch), the Solar System and the human body. You can download them here. Below is a preview of the Solar System lesson. Enjoy!

I absolutely love this site for a “free choice” activity in the computer lab or on the SMART Board. Most of them are brain/fun-type games, and there are plenty to choose from! Enjoy!

Fraction Flags is a great way to visually learn fractions. You can choose on the main menu to design a flag using halves, four one-quarters, three-quarters and one quarter, or a half and two one-quarters. Enjoy!

SPRING BREAK IS FINALLY HERE! I’ll be “off the grid” for 7 days enjoying the sand between my toes! This prompted me to find some pool safety games to share with my own children and the students. The first one is The Adventures of Splish and Splash. There are 3 different games that focus on swimming and pool safety. You might also want to check out this pool safety game where children point out the unsafe behavior. This one is also really neat. Click on the kid before he dives into the shallow end, then click to make him dive. Do the easy level unless you have more than one person playing at the SMART Board! Enjoy and have a safe Spring Break!

Fraboom.com is an online virtual museum for kids that has tons of fun activities including games, videos, interactive books, and more. Children may also attend real-time classes featuring live teachers; just visit the website for a schedule of times. Much of the content is free, but there are paid membership levels that allow you access to more content. Enjoy!

Word Game Time is a companion site to Math Game Time that I posted about in January. There are several games for each grade level and videos and worksheets as well. The games housed on the site are from different sites that you may already be familiar with such as Primary Games and Arcademic Skill Builders. Please check out the “Spot the Difference” game for Kindergarten.

Tvokids.com has so many great games and videos. Here is a spelling game that I really like called the Amazing Spelling Fleas. There are several rounds to the game. The first consists of popping the bubble with the correctly spelled word. Then you’ll move on to the next level where you choose the correct letter to complete the word, and so on. Check it out!

FOSSweb has many wonderful interactive science activities for K-8 students. Insect Hunt is one of my favorites from the K-2 section. Move the magnifying glass around to find the insects. Once you answer whether or not it is an insect, you will then be presented with some insect facts. Look for insects on land and water! Don’t forget to check out all of the other activities on the site. Enjoy and TGIF!

Today is the 100th day of school in Mobile County! Only 80 more days of school remain. Here are a fun activity from ABCya.com to do on the SMART Board today. The owl needs help finding his friends. He’ll tell which number his friend is at, and you have to click on it. Also check out my past posts on 100th day activities.

More or Less is a great game found at MathGameTime.com. There are 4 groups of objects, each with different types and amounts. Follow the instructions and choose either the most populated or least populated group. Click the settings cog at the bottom right corner and make it full screen for the SMART Board. There are tons of other games on the site, as well as math videos and worksheets for Pre-K through 7th grade. Enjoy!
