Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The laminator will make life so much easier! From word cards to math numeracy, this laminator will make student work and learning materials indestructible! Extra laminating sheets ensure that this will help us get through the year.

Heavy-duty materials keep up with little children's developing organization skills.

Laminators protect student and teacher work, make materials so much more durable and of course make materials look so much nicer! When teaching 6 and 7-year-olds, laminated materials are KEY! This will also help keep teaching materials safe for years to come and help cut down on unnecessary repetitive work.
