Mrs. DuVilla from Newark DE is requesting computers & tablets through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Shannon's Sweet Students Seek Supportive Sponsors!

Help me give my students the best hybrid learning experience with a working laptop and monitor (big enough to display all students on ZOOM/google meetings) and noise cancelling headphones for a few students in need!

My Students

I teach 3rd grade students with special needs in the regular learning environment. These amazing kids have Individual Education Plans (IEPs) that allow me to focus their strengths and differing learning styles, while building skills in their specific areas of need. These littles cover the spectrum of needs, such as students with autism, specific learning disabilities in math and reading, dyslexia, specific genetic disorders, cognitive disabilities, auditory processing issues, speech and language needs, sensory issues, occupational therapy issues, and more. They may have a variety of obstacles, cognitive and/or physical, that make learning more challenging, BUT they never give up.

When the whole group lesson finishes, we break into small groups and get to work.

This is where my students benefit and require re-teaching of just taught and basic skills, continued visual examples, and use of hand-on materials. It's my job to engage all types of learners and attending capabilities.

Our friends may move at a slower pace, but we are always moving! We celebrate progress and those "light bulb" moments of understanding and growth. These are the kids that make it worth coming to school everyday.

My Project

These materials can make all the difference in the world to my students!

A new teacher laptop that is capable of running multiple programs concurrently, will allow me to focus on the learning at hand (NOT on the troubleshooting and glitching I experience daily).

Also, due to the virtual learning environment, having a larger monitor will help with better seeing students AND my lessons at the same time. Please feel free to laugh and appreciate how big a step this is for me and my relationship with technology.

Finally, and most importantly, a few dollars donated will also allow me to send home noise cancelling headphones to some students that find themselves in less than ideal learning situations. I believe that noise cancelling headphones will make a HUGE DIFFERENCE to some students in LOUD & DISTRACTING environments who are sharing small spaces with multiple siblings, working parents, and/or at busy daycares.

Just the opportunity to tune out the noise and focus on learning is all I ask. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
