Engaging Learning Centers With a New Laminator!

Help me give my students a laminator to create engaging centers in kindergarten!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kaczmarek's classroom raised $265

This project is fully funded

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 and supplies will help me to create meaningful learning centers in kindergarten. Kindergarten is a wonderful place where kids are gaining practice with many new skills.

By laminating their work, they will be able to use and reuse materials again and again!

This will allow them to practice the skills that they need to be successful. I am excited to laminate letter matching games, letter sound pictures, number cards and puzzles, name tracing practice, sight words, their artwork, the list goes on and on!

Working in the inner city, we do not always have access to the materials we need. Being able to create and laminate my own learning materials will open a myriad of opportunities for my students! Thank you for donating!
