Our district recently passed a bond issue which supported the purchase of a set of four iPads for every early childhood classroom. We are currently utilizing the iPads in our literacy and learning centers. To optimize learning in all curricular areas, there needs to be a hands-on, manipulative component. Osmo provides these beneficial tools. We need these requested Osmo iPad Base and Genius Kit to create equity and provide access for all children to participate and learn through first-hand, interactive experiences. The students will be able to learn creativity, math and literacy concepts through the use of these tools. Your donation will allow children access to unique learning experiences that promote student engagement and increase cognitive development. I have seen this in a previous class when I was able to borrow an Osmo Kit and base so that each of my students was able to briefly explore these materials. I heard cries of "Look!" each time a new child got on an iPad. They were hooked. The Osmo Kit provides stimulating activities in the core learning areas of literacy and math. Furthermore, it creates opportunities for the students to learn both independently and to practice teaching one another.
