"The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well and doing well whatever you do." -Longfellow
The students in my classroom always try their best. They never give up, and have fun while working. It is important to show off students' best work.
I work at a school in Queens, New York.
I have a wonderful group of students. They come in each and every day ready to learn. They try to work their hardest when they work on projects or assignments.
I also work in a wonderful school where everyone is so giving. My colleagues will always work together to do what is best for the entire school community. We want to do our best work so that all of our students can be successful.
My Project
I am requesting a laminator for my classroom so that students can truly put their best foot forward when it comes to their work. My students work extremely hard on their projects and assignments and I love displaying their hard work on my bulletin board in the hallway. Unfortunately, as others look at all of our hard work, papers become bent and crumpled. This takes away from the masterpiece that was created. I would love to use a laminator to protect student work while others enjoy!
I would also love to use a laminator to create a "green" classroom. So often, we must use worksheets to help students learn and differentiate instruction. So many copies must be used of checklists and rubrics and other resources because once a student uses it, it cannot be re-used. I would love to laminate useful resources that can be used and re-used. Students can use dry erase markers for one period, then the marker can be wiped off and the resource can be used again and again!
My students will love the idea that whatever they create in the classroom is special.When their work is laminated, it shows off the hard work that was done.
My students also love coming up to the board to use the dry erase board. When they can use dry erase markers to check their own work, it truly makes the experience special. They get to play "teacher" while learning and assessing their own hard work
