My Students Need a Laminator to Reuse Paper!

My students need a laminator, paper, and laminating sheets so they are able to master lessons, with reusable laminating paper.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Callaghan's classroom raised $196

This project is fully funded

My Students

I teach first grade in the heart of Chicago. The students in my class are from all over the world and have a passion for learning. My students are caring, respectful of one another, and energetic. My students are a group of eager learners, always wanting to research and know more.

My students are caring, respectful of one another, and energetic.

They are openminded, they accept all points of view.

They are one loving group of kids and I look forward to seeing their smiling faces everyday!

My Project

My students need a laminator and laminating sheets as well as color paper to cut down on paper. All of my students are hard workers, but can become frustrated if they do not understand the lesson the first time. It will be helpful to make games, and practice sheets in laminating paper, so that my students are able to practice the skills they needs in math and reading. It will also be extremely helpful to have laminated skills practice games and activities for my students, so that more than one group can use the game or activity. This would also really help because learning a new skill takes time and having laminated paper will give the students more than one chance to master the skill!
