Osmo
I am sure by now all students have come home talking about our Osmo's in the classroom. Last year a generous parent donated two Osmo's to our classroom and this year our WONDERFUL PTO purchased us two NEW iPads for all students to more efficiently use our Osmo's. (Our previous iPads became obsolete)

Osmo's are a unique device that let's students interact with real-world objects like puzzles, letters and number instead of just a touch screen. We use the Osmo's for engaging vocabulary practice, math review, connecting curriculum content, and taking the traditional learning and integrating it with innovative technology. 
It encourages active hands-on learning versus passive screen time. There is a link below to learn more about our Osmo's.
 
  I LOVE the Osmo's in our classroom because of how they foster student learning in areas like creative thinking, STEM, and even the use of our common core. It is much more than just a game, it is a valuable resource and a helpful teaching tool.
