Help me give my students access to a binding machine to create their own books for our classroom library!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Esposito's classroom raised $171

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

My English Language Learners are always motivated to learn each day. In order to further support them, I would like a binding machine for my classroom. This binding machine will allow me to create personalized resources for my students that will help them learn English. I will be able to gather resources and bind them together so each student gets what he/she needs. Along with this, my students love to write their own stories. Usually, my students write their books and staple them together, and put them in the classroom library. The binding machine will allow my students to bind their books together and display their books like real authors. They can be added to our classroom library to read each day and my students will have a nicely bound copy of their book to share with friends and family and to add to their home library.
