FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Watson-Santiago's classroom raised $390

My Project

I am a first grade teacher at a low income school where we need supplies to help my scholars continue to grow in learning and being able to use their technology to further their knowledge. Please help me in continuing to support them inside the classroom.

My students are bright hard working scholars who deserve the best, and with your help we can give them that opportunity.

Let’s make learning fun. My students will be able to focus with these new headphones when working with technology. The class set of dry erase boards will help my students show me what they know in an engaging way. I have also requested construction paper and crayons, which my students will use for projects.

We are grateful for organizations like DonorChoose because everyone who donates to a project demonstrates how children are our future. Thank you.
