Goal

The goal for this project is to purchase Osmo kits for our iPads to use for STEM lessons in the library.

What will be done with my students

The Osmo kits will be used during Library STEM time with students. When students come to the library, they have the option to chose from a STEM activity while also checking out books. These would allow for students to have a technology option. Specifically, Osmo combines physical objects with digital gameplay, creating an interactive and engaging environment. Osmo sets encourage hands-on, tactile learning using physical objects and manipulatives to use in a tangible way.

We already have 5 of the kits, used them STEM night and they were a BIG hit. The additional 11 kits will allow for more students to use the technology option when they come to library.

These kits have a spelling component, math component, and spatial reasoning component.

Benefits to my students

These kits will be used by ALL students at our school as they come to the library. Every class comes every other week and will all have a chance to use the OSMO kits. Students will be able to build on their spelling and math skills as well as their reasoning and problem-solving skills.

Budget Narrative
