Help Promote our Critical Thinking Skills with Osmo!
Funded Nov 4, 2015Thank you so much for your contribution to our Osmo's project! We were so excited to receive them and and use them in our classroom! They are yet another tool to use with our ipads! We love to use them individually as well as in groups when we have our weekly math centers.
These Osmo's help to promote creative thinking skills in these early years of development. The games included help to reach beyond the screen and link specific learning goals along with hands on learning. For example, students must manipulate number tiles on a table in front of the Osmo to create the answer on screen! The students are amazed!
Thank you again for your contribution and your desire to help students receive things above and beyond in the classroom. It is people and foundations like you that give teachers the ability to "think big" and reach for things that might not normally be available to their students.”

Funded Dec 2, 2009I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you again for your generous gift to my classroom. A cheer went out in the room the day that our learning easel arrived! The student's and I were so excited! Good news traveled fast as I recently hosted a kindergarten family night where each child proceeded to show their parents the easel that a "very nice lady" had bought for their classroom. Our morning meetings have been full of excitement, as we have been discovering the variety of ways that we can use our new learning easel, whether it is for our morning messages or our phonics lessons!
With so many school districts in this nation under financial distress it is so reassuring to know that there are "academic angels" like you to make our learning dreams come true. I have not only used your gift to help my students in their learning, but have also used your expression of generosity as a life learning lesson of helping others for my kindergartners. Generosity is not something that kindergartners can be taught, but a value that they must practice. Thank you so very much.
