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

A laminating machine and laminating sheets are incredibly valuable tools in a preschool classroom. Young children are naturally curious and hands-on, which means that materials often experience a lot of wear and tear. Laminating activity cards, worksheets, and visual aids helps protect them from spills, wrinkles, and rips, ensuring they can be reused many times throughout the year. This not only saves time and effort in recreating materials but also helps maintain a clean, organized, and engaging learning environment. Having a laminator and sheets on hand turns everyday activities into reusable tools and special moments into lasting memories.
