Protect Our Resources!

Funded Dec 4, 2015

Thank you so much for your donation toward our classroom personal laminator. Thanks to you the resources we use (the apples and carrots cards for discussing production possibilities and opportunity cost, the business organization sorting game, the phones and microwaves cards for illustrating comparative advantage, the labels for our floor size supply and demand graphs, and all of our vocabulary cards) in so many of our economics lessons are protected and will last from class to class and even year to year. I have one student in my last period class who is was very concerned about how many people had touched the materials. Once they were laminated she was excited to know she could participate because I can now use Clorox wipes on them between classes! This was a student who only participated in activities if she didn't have to touch anything....now she can fully participate!

The students were so excited the first day I unpacked the laminator and the materials and set to work getting everything laminated. They were constantly making comments about how laminating the materials would save the school money and be a better use of our scarce resources!

I am very excited to get all my materials laminated for next year's classes. I will be able to add to the activities because I won't be constantly making new cards, posters, board games, etc. The laminator you helped provide is a tool that will impact every student I have until I decide to retire!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Mason
