My job is to help 5 years old learn to exist outside of their parents home. I teach enthusiastic and innocent 5 years old that are learning how to be students. I have students that receive ELL, speech services, and various other services. We have such a diverse and amazing student body that it can be challenging to make sure each and every one of them is being given all the time and attention they deserve. Parents entrust their most prized possessions to me and I try my hardest to help them develop into 1st-grade ready students.
Some of the challenges that I face on a daily basis include; making sure students have enough cold weather gear, feeding students that are food insecure and having access to the technology that many students need to be familiar with in order to be ready for other grades.
My Project
My students thrive on using play to learn. We have a lot of brain breaks and toy time throughout the day. Today there are so many things available to everyday people with technology. I am trying to help my students learn with as much fun as possible. One thing that ALL kindergarteners love to do is use any sort of technology. My struggle is to give them access to electronic and digital content to help them learn. Using Osmo to learn is both effective and fun.
Right now my students share a few iPads and we have to try to rotate through in small groups in order to use the Osmo materials that I bring from home, this Osmo belongs to my own children and I have bought this out of my own pocket.
My own children learned to read with the help of Osmo, including one of my daughters that has a learning disability. I want to see the same success and enjoyment brought to the children in my classroom, regardless of the financial ability of their parents.
