Preserve and Laminate

Help me give my students a laminator, laminating pouches, and a label maker so they could preserve documents that they need in print such as essays, posters, and images.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dukes's classroom raised $330

My Project

A laminator and label maker will allow endless possibilities for students in my classroom.

My students will be able to express their creativity by making durable flash cards, posters, signs, centers, name tags, desks, plates, etc.

A blank sheet of cardstock can be laminated to make a “write on, wipe off” mat that students can use during assignments. My students would also be able to label items for projects and personal items. A label maker would significantly help students be able to identify their items apart from other students’ articles. It is more effective than using permanent markers for labeling because some things cannot be written on with permanent markers.

I believe that having a classroom laminator and label maker will enable my students to reach their full potential, by allowing them to see their personal work labeled and preserved in the classroom.

Differentiation is the key to success for my students. These resources will allow me to help tailor my students' learning experiences and meet the needs of all my learners. Having a classroom laminator and label maker will help my students succeed.
