I had a tough start of my school. The laminator from you has been such a big help in my ESE classroom, where some students show aggressive or destructive behaviors. Before, many of our learning materials like visual schedules, communication cards, and behavior charts would get ripped or damaged quickly. Now that I can laminate them, they are durable, easy to clean, and can be reused even after rough handling. This not only saves me time and resources but also ensures my students always have the tools they need to stay on track and succeed. It truly makes our classroom more structured, consistent, and supportive for my students' needs.","fullyFundedDate":1742569335037,"projectUrl":"project/laminator-for-ese-ebd-classroom/9127531/","projectTitle":"Laminator for ESE (EBD) Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Lacorte","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9930073_orig.jpg?crop=1152,1152,x0,y142&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1740366376131","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9930073"},{"teacherId":224819,"projectId":9039576,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for donating to our classroom.
