Learning Through Technology...The Osmo Way!

My students need the interactive Osmo Genius kit to foster a love for learning with engaging activities in our small groups.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Norsworthy's classroom raised $247

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach in a Title I school where every student receives free breakfast and lunch. Each day, my students enter my kindergarten classroom coming from very diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of ability levels. I have students who do not know their letters and students who are ready to begin reading. No matter their backgrounds or ability levels, they leave my room each day knowing they are loved. It is my goal to begin their journey of school through positive and engaging experiences that will set them on a path of success for the rest of their careers in school.

My Project

My students love to use technology for learning and play. They are highly motivated by technology!

The Osmo kit will offer a new and exciting way for my students to engage in reading and math activities while integrating tangible objects and technology.

The tech savvy manipulatives will be used for one-on-one instruction, small group rotating centers, and independent work.

The Osmo toys will be one more way to integrate cross-disciplinary skills engaging and enhancing their fine motor, technology, and academic skills. Incorporating coding will allow students to become more aware of new technologies and how it can shape their future.
