Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am requesting Osmo kits and geometric foldable shapes that cover a wide range of core skills in reading, math, science, art and coding, as well as high level cognitive.

There are many educational benefits of using an Osmo kit tool that can blend physical objects and digital apps to create a unique, hands-on digital learning experience for kids.

Having the Osmo kits as a tool for my students will cover a wide range of core skills in reading, math, science, art and coding, as well as high level cognitive skills.

I am also requesting folding shapes sets. Using folding 3-dimentional shapes provides fun and concrete visuals to learn geometry. Also as my students use this tool they will be motivated to continue to practice and engage in the creative process as they explore and interact with the manipulatives and the Osmo during small group during different content areas. The folding geometric shapes will be very useful as we create learning opportunity using hands on manipulatives at the primary level.

The products that I have selected will provide my students a variety of hands on activities making their learning fun and engaging. Fun centers with manipulatives, hands on materials and well organized space offers a great opportunity of learning math, reading and self confidence as they learn a new language.
