Creative is at the heart of all young children. I teach 4 year old students in a high poverty area in an urban setting in a public school. Most of my students are from young single parents. We have severe budget cutbacks and have no money for extras.

With the laminating machine I will be able to help students to create classroom books. These books will become favorites to be read. I will be able to make materials more durable and long lasting. I can make math manipulatives to use in class and send home for parents to help teach their children. I can use the laminating machine to create a creative learning environment.

Your support will help those that are most in need. This project will make it possible for parents to have materials to help their children when they would not otherwise be able to. I am asking for a laminator to help me meet these goals.

I would like to thank all who help me make a difference in my classroom and help those most in need. I believe all children deserve a quality education and classroom.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
