My students need laminating pouches so that we can use our materials for longer periods of time. These laminating sheets will allow us to make reusable tools for all subjects and reinforce anchor charts.
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
My students are absolutely amazing in every way. Our class is complete with 25 enthusiastic, curious and animated first graders from a range of cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. Our class is an integrated co-teaching (ICT) classroom meaning that a portion of our students have special needs. Our needs range from speech and language disorders to autism and none of the labels stop any of the students from trying their hardest and always exceeding expectations. These 25 students are dedicated and excelling in the classroom is the norm!
Our class of students is a unique, clever, determined and persistent bunch with a range of interests and needs--making each and every lesson new and exciting!
My co-teacher and I take a very hands-on approach to education which allows students to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways.
My Project
As a teacher, I try and create only materials that can be manipulated, used, re-used and brought home, but this is only possible by laminating. I laminate almost everything in my classroom--extra work I send home, skills practice, behavior charts, anchor charts and manipulatives for reading, writing and math (number lines, writing checklists, reading goals). Laminating allows the materials to be used more than once which means students can practice their skills on a daily basis without having to reprint or waste them!
All of the materials that I use benefit from being laminated and in return my students benefit from using them over and over again.
I already have my own laminator, but we are in need of the laminating sheets to continue being able to provide our students with what they need and deserve!
