Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My preschooler students walk into the classroom every day full of life, ready to learn, and excited for what is in store for them. As are most three-year-olds, my students are full of energy and are very enthusiastic! They are risk-takers and mess-makers!

Since they can be a bit rough on their materials, I need a laminator and pouches to protect their work!

And, with the printer I can send colorful newsletter to the parents and also print schoolwork for my student.

Educational materials are frequently used and handled by many students, making them susceptible to wear and tear.

Lamination protects them from damage and makes them easier to clean. Additionally, lamination turns just about any piece of paper into a dry-erase document which students can use to practice ELA and math skills!
