There are some awesome teachers that teach school to the kids that spend extensive amounts of time hospitalized. They are employed by the Durham public school system.
Ms. Trish has been Shantel's regular teacher for the past three years. Shantel has excelled under her guidance especially in reading. She has exposed her to history which Shantel seems to enjoy, but math is still her favorite subject.
Katie is the most awesome science teacher in the whole world!!! If I would have had Katie when I was in school I would be aaaaaa..........something scientific! Katie has done all sorts of cool things with Shantel. They've written a book, learned anatomy, started a flower business learning about plants, flowers, and money, been to the science museum, had three science fairs and a bunch of other cool things.
This years science fair was the comparison of Shantel and Molly's (Shantel's dog) body parts. They enlarged a picture of Molly and used clay as parts like liver, heart, stomach etc. She drew an outline of a person and placed the same insides on that picture. Then Shantel gave her presentation about the likenesses and pointed them out on the display. Several nurses and staff of 5300 attended. Shantel did a great job!! Then Katie presented her a ribbon which she is very proud of!!
Thank you Duke teachers for all you do!!!!
