Making Materials Last With a Laminator

Help me give my students more durable and long lasting materials with a laminator.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Basar's classroom raised $213

This project is fully funded

My Project

Help! I am in need of a classroom laminator. This tool will give me the ability to provide my students with materials that are more durable and will last many years.

In first grade it is very important to provide students with materials that last, and a laminator definitely helps with this.

I will use the laminator in many ways in my classroom… to create name tags, computer ID cards, art projects, classroom signs, math center games, teacher created games, sight word flash cards, the list goes on and on.
