A Beautiful Classroom

Help me give my students a rug to read on, materials printed in color, and a laminator for posters for the whole school. These things help us make educational materials for our classrooms that we can reuse.

My Project

Our classroom needs a new classroom rug! I am new to Jenks and I donated my last rug. The kids would love a rug to read and complete assignments on!

The color printer is an amazing tool for teachers.

We can make our own classroom decorations, educational resources, and posters that we can reuse. It also helps visual learners!

The laminator helps us to make items durable and reusable. We make lots of our own resources for our classrooms as well as resources to send home. Laminating items makes them last for a long time. Having a large laminator would make it easier for teachers to make items for their students and classrooms.

Thank you for reading and considering supporting my project.

Be well,

Christa
