Smartboard Screen Saver Labeling

Hello from the Redroom,
During Daily Five word work, we use the screen saver  on our Smartboard to label objects and write a sentence from the words we used.
Here's how it works:
Find a screen saver for your computer (the one that is hooked up to your Smartboard) and project it up on the Smartboard.
We were doing a unit on hatching chickens in the classroom, so I found a screen saver that had hens, roosters, and a farm scene. The words were, hen, rooster, beak, comb, feathers, barn, grass, sky.
I made flash cards with the words,  and students used the expo marker to write the words in the appropriate place on the Smartboard.
Students had fun labeling the picture and coming up with a sentence using the words which they wrote at the bottom of the Smartboard.
There are millions of great screen savers that can be used. You can enhance student vocabulary with words from a unit or concept words.
Give it a try!
