I need a laminator and pouches so I can preserve my students' artwork and create reusable resources for first grade class.
I have 26 first graders who are eager to learn.
They are wonderful storytellers, artists, and mathematicians. I want to create a school environment that fosters their curiosity and love of learning. In our school, 54% of the students receive free or reduced price meals.
My Project
My students create wonderful pieces of art in my class. I want to preserve some so they can take them home and keep them for a long time. I also want to make sure that I minimize the amount of paper wasted in my class. A simple device like a laminator can help me reduce the amount of paper that I use in my first grade class and be able to use printed materials from year to year.
Wouldn't you love to see some of the art work that you created in first grade?
In helping my class to get a laminator, you are giving my students the opportunity to preserve some of their art work for the future.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
