My Students

My classroom consists of students who are in first, second, third, and fourth grades. It is a self-contained, low-incidence special education room. The students are diverse learners who have moderate to severe disabilities that include autism, Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities, and speech and language impairments. My students come from all over the city of Chicago, making the class rich with diversity and culture.

No matter the challenging situations and difficulties they face, my students continue to come to school happy and eager to learn; they are amazing!

We are a Chicago public school and our district continues to face financial difficulties. Because of this, the school lacks funding to appropriately support our classroom and students. With a little help from Donors Choose, we can get tools to support, enhance, and facilitate learning in a productive way!

My Project

My classroom is a self-contained special education classroom. My students have a large range of abilities, and each student has an individualized curriculum tailored to their unique needs. As a result, students are often doing different activities at the same time.

IPads are incorporated into the curriculum for both learning and leisure; however, headphones are a necessity so that the noise does not cause disruption and distraction.

We currently have a low stock of headphones for a number of reasons, and this limits the accessibility to the IPads. The cords on the headphones tend to be flimsy. They are easily broken if they are bent or pulled on too hard. Additionally, many of my students have autism accompanied with sensory needs. Some of these sensory needs cause the students to chew, twirl, and twist the headphone cords, leading to more broken headphones. The wireless headphones will eliminate all of these issues and provide the students with continued structure and routine without limited access to the iPads due to the headphone shortage. Thank you for your consideration!
