Excellent Work Deserves To Be Preserved

Help me give my students a way to preserve their work and awards with an in-class laminator as well as the tools to display them inside and outside my classroom with a cordless hot glue gun.

My Project

Your help will be greatly appreciated in purchasing an in-class laminating machine as well as thermal sheets. This in-class laminator will provide me the opportunity to quickly preserve students' work and awards so that they may keep them and cherish them for many years to come. I firmly believe in recognizing all student's achievements both big and small. This laminator will allow me to make more awards throughout the year to recognize not only students who make good grades but also those who set a goal and crush them. For example, I had students that were not honor roll students but set an obtainable goal to just make an A in math this year, and that is exactly what they did! With this laminator, it would allow me to quickly create an award for conquering this goal and laminate it on the spot for the student to be recognized for working so hard. The hot glue gun will make it easy for me to display my student's achievements as well as hang anchor charts and room displays to help my students have a reference in the classroom. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated!
