Lasting Learning: Laminating for a Stronger Classroom

Help me give my students laminated resources by donating towards a laminating machine and laminating sheets.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Copeland's classroom raised $178

My Project

In a busy classroom, materials are handled every day by eager hands. To help my resources last longer and stay looking new, I am requesting a laminating machine and laminating sheets. With these tools, I can protect important materials like center games, visual aids, behavior charts, and reference cards so they can be used again and again.

Laminating helps me create reusable materials for reading and math centers, which cuts down on waste and saves time preparing resources each week.

Students can write on laminated materials with dry-erase markers, allowing for interactive learning and quick feedback. From flashcards to anchor charts, laminated tools stay clean, organized, and ready for use year-round.

Having access to a laminator in my classroom means I can quickly prepare and update personalized materials for students who need extra support. It also allows me to preserve student work, create colorful displays, and send home durable learning tools for families to use.

This project will help me create a more efficient, engaging, and long-lasting learning environment for every student. Thank you for helping me take care of our classroom resources so they can serve many students for years to come.
