We Need a Laminating Machine and Pouches for Our Classroom!
Help me give my students a Laminating Machine, some laminating pouches, and index cards to preserve their classwork and multiplication cards!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Smith's classroom raised $381
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
A laminator is an essential part of any classroom supply. We want to use our laminator and pouches to keep our resources such as our index cards in good enough condition so that they can be reusable for the years to come.
A laminator can turn a piece of paper from a single-use resource into a resource the children can use for four or five years in a row because it makes the writing more durable and "kid friendly."
Our students struggling with multiplication, can use the index cards and the dry-erase markers during Math small groups. A student will use an index card to write a problem on it. When they are finished, they will add it to a pile to be laminated. Next, they will pick a card. On the front of the card, they will see a math problem. They will write on the laminated card what they think the answer to the question is. At the end of the lesson, students can erase their answers then clean and prepare the cards for the next use.
The children have helped out with laminating so many items that our last machine burnt out and died! Please help us to get a new machine with some pouches and index cards. Thank you.
