Hip Hop Handwriting
SMART Exchange publishes a wide variety of SMARTBoard lessons for various grade levels. I particularly enjoy the Hip Hop Handwriting lesson due to the incorporation of learning modalities. The lesson requires visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles. The lesson provides students with printed letters of the alphabet as well as catchy rap songs for most of the letters. Students can practice letter recognition, letter sounds and letter formation. I use the SMARTBoard to guide the students through the lesson and also supply the students with individual dry erase boards for practice at their desks. Lastly, I usually choose one student to model correct letter formation on the SMARTBoard.

Melissa the lesson you chose appears to have been an excellent choice; being able to incorporate Smart Technology and to address the various learning styles that derive from the theory of intelligences, demonstrates your passion, concern and your invested interest in the lives of your children’s. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think the kids love the catchy rap songs and the Dry Erase Markers. It's the little things that keep them interested.
