My Students

Students in my class are bright and love a new challenge. With the rising demands expected for students today, it's a challenge to find new and engaging materials to meet the needs of all learners in a self-contained classroom.

My classroom is composed of a variety of learners who need materials that will provide them with opportunities for growth at extremely different levels.

Our campus has gifted and talented students, special education students, LEP students, and students from the Essential Academic Setting. The Osmo Genius Kit will provide learning opportunities for each child.

Technology is the future of learning!

My Project

The Genius kit fosters creativity & problem solving skills with 5 games: Numbers, Tangram, Words, Masterpiece, & Newton.

The award-winning hands-on game system from Osmo!

1. Numbers: Free form math (count, add & multiply)

2. Tangram: Expand your visual thinking.

3. Words: puzzle form spelling

4. Masterpiece: supercharge your drawing.

5. Newton: creative problem solving.

Osmo's game systems foster social intelligence and creative thinking by opening up the iPad to the endless possibilities of physical play.

Crafted with reflective artificial intelligence, a groundbreaking technology that bridges the real and digital realms. The full kit allows children to explore science, math, art, and more!
