Learning Through Osmos

My students need Osmo bases to utilize their new, hands-on Osmo centers that bring literacy, STEM, and the arts to life but came without a base.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Alvarez's classroom raised $379

My Students

My second grade classroom is transforming from a traditional classroom of instruction to a technology infused classroom of collaboration and exploration.

At my school, students have a passion for learning but face unique challenges with the support of engaged families.

All of our school's students are eager to learn and have great potential. That is not to say that our school is without its challenges; our students deserve to learn skills that they can apply in their technology rich futures and careers. I feel that providing opportunities for students to work with age appropriate technology helps our students become better learners and gives them the foundations for a tech infused future.

My Project

My students need eight Osmo bases to use with their Osmo kits.

Osmo's groundbreaking system fosters social intelligence and creative thinking by opening up the iPad to the endless possibilities of physical play with tangible, hands-on manipulatives.

My students recently obtained an Osmo genus kit, with five smart games that transform your iPad into a hands-on learning tool. These award-winning games make core subjects—like math (Numbers) and spelling (Words)—fresh and fun. They also help kids hone essential skills like visual thinking (Tangram), creative problem-solving (Newton), and self-expression (Masterpiece), but only came with a single base. My students also obtained the Osmo pizza kit to practice handling money, and Osmo coding kit. These came with out a base and cannot be utilized until bases are obtained.

These Osmo bases will allow students to collaborate on a single device while practicing skills that align with our curriculum and standards. Most importantly, students will be having fun while they learn at their "just right" pace with the support of these Osmo bases. The 10 drawers cart will help us organize our Osmo centers and will be easily accessible for the students and I.
