Help me give my students the ability to have their work laminated (a laminator and pouches), paper to print out their written projects, and a round table for groups.

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 Students
I am a special educator for all core subjects. My students range from general education students to special education students. My classroom is designed as an ICT or integrated code teaching model. My students are very hard workers. They push to their limits and won’t stop until they succeed. Many of my students have ADD, ADHD, ODD, and/or behavioral disabilities. They require a lot of one-to-one support and attention. Once their needs are satisfied they succeed to their utmost best. When pushed to their limits they may struggle but show perseverance. I often try to create vibrant areas of the inside and outside of the room to display their work. Very often my students enjoy volunteering to help decorate and design the room with class projects, word walls, and student work walls. They are a rambunctious group of children but truly enjoy being able to participate in helping their environment to be full of beautiful displays. After all, who wouldn’t love to see their work displayed honorably.
My Project
I work in an integrated co-teaching environment where I teach special education students with multiple needs. Unfortunately, my school does not have the funding to provide my classroom with a separate round table for small group instruction and accommodations to meet their special needs. With a small round table my students will have the ability to work aside the teacher for most explicit learning experiences. In addition to this, my school also does not have a laminating machine accessible to teachers. My students require multiple manipulatives on a daily basis. Being able to laminate the manipulatives will make products reusable.
