The laminating machine, laminating pouches and magnets have been put to great use. \r\n\r\nSmall group instruction is an essential component in our classroom. This is where the magic truly happens as students' areas of strength and/or weaknesses are targeted during our rotations. We try to make these lessons interactive and hands-on. That is where the laminating comes into play. We laminate many of these activities so that students can write on them with dry-erase markers. This allows us to use them through out the day with other students, which in turn helps us make less copies. In addition, the magnets that were donated are also helping us hang our anchor charts which help as visuals that serve as reminders of what they are learning or have learned. These magnets also help us hang work that we are proud of and want all our visitors to see.\r\n\r\nFrom the bottom of my heart, thank you for investing in our future generation.
