This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
For two and a half years, my classroom has been housed in a temporary building and my students are struggling with managing their emotions in an appropriate manner. My K-5 Special Needs students are worried and anxious all the time. A majority of my special needs students receive free lunch. My students are well behaved, motivated, energetic and excited to learn.
Some of them have no support from family and therefore, it is even more imperative for me to find the necessary resources so they can be comfortable and learn.
My students are distraught and need some positivity in their lives to create a good self-image and develop some self-confidence! The constant movement to get supplies has wreaked havoc on everyone's nerves.
As a dedicated teacher, the majority of my students are low income, but that does not limit their abilities or expectations. They have set high goals for themselves and want to come to a place that will help them achieve.
My Project
OSMO Game is magical and is designed for beginner to expert levels. This STEM game enables the continuation of learning coding and programming. My students need to learn hands on coding.
I wish to prepare my students for the 21st Century and teach them the basic concepts of coding /programming, with your donations my students will get to use coding blocks to create music, while learning to spell, solve mysteries,and do problem solving.
They will use the magnifying glass, search for landmarks around the world while also learning trivia facts about geography, culture, and history (detective Agency).
My students will be learning how to make pizza for customers, collect payment & make change (Dollars/Coins), & learn the profitability of business. Additional game concepts include: addition, subtraction, fractions, mental math, design and communication skills.
