By laminating classroom signs, labels, and door decorations, I have created a learning environment that is consistent, welcoming, and durable. In the past, these materials needed to be reprinted every year due to wear and tear, which required additional time and money. Now, these resources can be reused year after year, allowing me to focus more energy on instruction rather than constantly replacing materials.\r\n\r\nLamination has also allowed me to label every space in my classroom clearly and intentionally. Students are able to independently locate their supplies, learning tools, and work areas without needing constant assistance. This level of organization builds confidence, responsibility, and independence, especially for young learners who thrive on structure. When students know where things belong and how to access them on their own, transitions are smoother and valuable instructional time is preserved.\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the laminating machine has transformed how I use instructional materials. Worksheets and activities that I return to each year can now be reused with dry-erase markers, reducing paper waste and promoting sustainability. This has been especially helpful for students who need extra time or multiple opportunities to revisit an activity to truly master a skill. Being able to practice repeatedly without pressure supports my students who learn at a slower pace and need reinforcement, ensuring that all learners have equitable access to success.","fullyFundedDate":1768702698935,"projectUrl":"project/preserving-learning-one-lamination-at-a/10003761/","projectTitle":"Preserving Learning, One Lamination at a Time","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. April","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9498313_orig.jpg?crop=3000,3000,x0,y500&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754156901232","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9498313"},{"teacherId":3899871,"projectId":9808294,"letterContent":"Thank you for the resources to support our garden club and genius hour.

This is possible because of your contribution to this project. \r\nMy students love using playdoh to practice numbers and letters, and during free choice time. They love using the arts and crafts materials in fun ways- adding googly eyes to things is always a hit! Adding a sensory component to learning helps make it stick! \r\nThe materials for this project have also helped me create and prepare engaging activities that can withstand multiple uses with the laminating pouches and have an easy way to store them with the zippered pouches. \r\nThanks again for your support of my classroom, my students, and their learning.

Your support has also allowed me to provide early-finisher activities that reinforce newly learned skills in a way that feels like a reward rather than extra work.\r\n\r\nI've also been able to bring in new reading group materials, especially focused on phonemic awareness, an area that is foundational for kindergarten success.
