Make It Last!

My students need a classroom laminating machine and laminating pouches to make our current classroom materials last!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Keenan's classroom raised $279

This project is fully funded

My Students

Seven year olds by nature are rough on classroom materials and resources. By laminating these materials they will last beyond just a few weeks in the classroom!

My classroom has students from five continents who speak over ten different languages at home!

Each day when I arrive at school I am excited at the prospect of what I will learn. My smart and capable students reveal patterns in counting, make insightful inferences about characters in books and are powerful scientists making discoveries about plant life. There is also a little worry in each day... what will rip today? what game will fall apart today? what handcrafted sign will be water damaged?

My Project

For each of my students I have gathered a wide variety of resources. These resources range from file folder games to personalized phonics activities. As our school faces major budget cuts I want to be able to preserve the amazing resources I have so that they can be used by future students. You can help take the worries away and replace them with more opportunities for shared learning.

Through your generous gift of a laminator and laminating pouches I will be able to help the environment and insure that my current and future students have high quality resources to learn from.
