My Project
My fourth-grade students are energetic, curious, and love to learn in hands-on and creative ways. They come to school each day eager to explore new ideas, take on challenges, and share their thinking. Many of my students benefit from visual aids, reusable materials, and strong classroom routines that help them stay organized and focused.
To support my students’ learning, I’m requesting a thermal laminator, laminating pouches, and binders.
These tools will help us create durable learning materials that last all year long. With a laminator, I can protect frequently used items like anchor charts, vocabulary cards, center instructions, and student-created posters—making them reusable, wipeable, and more engaging.
The binders will allow each student to build and manage their own learning portfolios. We'll use them to collect writing samples, track progress in math, store reading notes, and reflect on our growth as learners. These binders will also help students develop essential organization and responsibility skills.
These materials will make a big difference in our daily routines. Having access to a laminator and binders will allow me to create durable, high-quality classroom tools and help students take ownership of their work. This project is not just about supplies—it’s about creating a classroom environment where learning is active, organized, and celebrated!
