Seal the Deal for Learning that LASTS!

Help me give my students a laminator to provide durable, engaging classroom materials for student use.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Nelson's classroom raised $190

My Project

Despite limited resources, I try to provide durable, engaging, and accessible learning materials for my students. A small laminator and laminating supplies would allow me to preserve instructional tools such as flashcards, center activities, vocabulary word walls, behavior charts, and anchor charts.

In my high-traffic ESL classroom setting, all reusable paper resources must be durable enough to support small group rotations, hands-on learning stations, and individual student support.

Laminated visuals and manipulatives will enhance student learning, especially for those who benefit from repetition and tactile interaction. These laminated materials can be used with dry-erase markers, making them ideal for interactive practice in literacy. These reusable tools will provide my ESL students with the scaffolding and repetition they need to grow their confidence and fluency in English.
