Help me give my students projects that last with laminating sheets that allow projects to be used over and over again along with velcro dots and dry erase markers.

Celebrating 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 Students
I teach 7 children within the Autism spectrum. I have one first-grader, two second-graders, one third-grader, one fourth-grader, and two fifth-graders. Each one is unique and has their own strengths and weakness. I want each of them to grow up to be as productive and independent as they can become.
We want to become productive adults.
We want to be accepted by others for the person we are rather than as someone who isn't accepted because we might be different. We have feelings just like anyone else. We participate as much as possible with the other students at our school.
Although we might not think the same way many people think, we have our own hopes and dreams and want to be productive adults. We are just as curious about the world as most people are.
My Project
Laminating projects makes learning last longer.
Being able to use the same materials over and over again for more than one student means making learning less expensive.
For example: Say it, Built it, Write it. Different words can be laminated. Each letter can be laminated to build the word. A space to write the word with a dry erase marker lets them write the word. This project can be changed by simply changing words and letters. Laminating the words and letters makes for a variety of words. Velcro means words and letters can be changed easily. Each time, different words and letters can be used. With a dry erase marker, they can write the word giving them a variety of tactile experiences.
Another project can be created for math. Numbers and math signs can be laminated so different math problems can be created by using velcro to create different problems.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
