"Creativity is the key to success in the future, and primary education is where teachers can bring creativity in children at that level." - A. P. J. Abdul Kalam The OSMO Gaming System has proven to foster social intelligence and creative thinking by opening up the iPad to endless interactive play.
I am a second grade teacher in a small, rural area.
We are located by a reservation. We welcome a wide range of Native American and Hispanic students. Seventy percent of our students receive free and reduced lunch. We celebrate the diversity of each individual student in our school. I believe as Ken Venturi states,"I don't believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be." I am excited to work with each and every student to help them reach their full potential.
My Project
The OSMO Gaming System is hands on with a set of learning games played with real pieces that interact with the iPad. The iPad front-facing camera redirects the camera to the game pieces as your child interacts with the iPad. There are math, spelling, art, and science activities to enhance their intelligence and creative minds. We also need silicone bracelets to promote school spirit. Our school is really focusing on working together and showing pride in our school. We need more flavoring and cups so the students will be able to earn their favorite snocone party. We need ink to print the amazing creations they make from the OSMO. The filament is for the students to make baby chicks when I send their real chicks back to the farm during our science incubation unit.
Teaching creativity to everyone is vitally important if we desire a good life for all.
The OSMO Gaming System will promote imagination, creativity, and enhance their learning in math, science, art, spelling and reading. The bracelets will help remind the students to have pride in themselves and in our school. The flavors and cups will enable the students to be able to earn their favorite snocone party. I want my students to have the best education possible and your help will be appreciated.
