Problem Solving With Osmo

Help me give my students Osmo and educational kits to promote problem solving skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Rogers's classroom raised $447

My Students

My students all have a moderate to severe intellectual disability. Their future isn't career or college based. Their future is life skills and independent living skills based. We work daily on academics, career skills, and independent living/life skills. The most important topic is their independence and ability to care for themselves. They do not know how to clean, cook, handle hygiene, wash clothing, etc. These are all skills that many of us take for granted. These essential life skills are a focal point for my students. They need to learn how to complete simple things like changing their clothing after an accident, washing their dirty clothing, making their own drink, making a simple food item or meal, basic communication skills, and self-care things like brushing teeth and flossing.

My Project

I am requesting Osmo Kits and other STEM kits for my students to use in the classroom. Osmo and the other STEM kits are a great way to extend the use of iPads and technology based learning in the classroom. These kits would be a great addition to our classroom! It would help improve student learning in various adaptive and life skills areas like social-emotional and functional academics. It would also help promote much needed creative thinking and problem solving skills.

The use of Osmo kits would appeal to students of all ability levels since it presents various levels of learning and would allow differentiation and student working at their own pace.

I would use the Osmo Kits and STEM Math Kit as a math center/station to promote math practice with basic skills like number recognition and fluency of math facts. Students would get to practice problem solving and social skills as they worked together on Osmo numbers, engineering, and puzzles. The Square Panda phonics kits would help improve our letter/sound recognition as we are trying to work on basic reading skills to improve our ability to read environmental print.
