Durable Learning Tools

Help me give my students the materials needed (cardstock, laminating sheets, a laminator, and the hole punchers) to create durable, reusable resources that will support their learning in writing and math throughout the year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Knopf's classroom raised $259

My Project

My students are hardworking and eager to learn, especially when they have tools that make concepts easier to understand. The cardstock, laminating sheets, laminator, and hole punchers will help me create sturdy, reusable resources that they can rely on for writing and math practice.

These materials will allow me to provide visual aids and strategy supports that students can use throughout the year.

For example, I will provide transitional phrases to assist students with writing activities or step-by-step instructions to guide them through math strategies. My goal is to give them resources that make learning more engaging and help them build confidence as they develop their skills.
