My Project

Hello!

As we continue to create a dynamic and engaging learning environment, I am looking to expand our collection of classroom board games.

These games will be a valuable addition, especially for our club days, where students can enjoy playing and learning together in a fun and interactive way.

Additionally, I am seeking a personal laminator for our classroom. This tool will help me efficiently prepare and protect materials for our learning stations, ensuring that resources remain durable and reusable throughout the school year.

Any donations of board games or contributions towards the purchase of a laminator would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your continued support in making our classroom a vibrant place for learning and growth.

Best regards,

Mr. Friesen
