I have requested the Osmo Genius Kit because it will give my eager-to-explore kindergartners a way to turn our class set of iPads into a more hands-on learning tool. With the different learning tools that the Osmo kit provides, my students will be encouraged to think visually, solve problems, and display their creativity. Research shows that students in early elementary learn more quickly and display better retention when they are given the opportunity to develop skills in a hands-on way. The Osmo kit will engage my students by allowing them to physically manipulate letters and numbers. I will use the dry erase white boards for many activities including practicing student handwriting, stations, displaying answers, and throughout all subject areas - all while saving paper!
