  • Reuse and Recycle With Laminates!

    Funded Nov 28, 2023

    I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous contribution to our classroom's laminate material project. Your support has made a significant impact on our students and their educational experience. This project has provided us with the resources to create supplies, cards, symbols, and special education materials that have greatly enhanced our teaching and learning environment.

    Having laminated materials has been instrumental in creating durable and reusable educational materials for our students. It has allowed us to produce visually engaging resources that cater to the diverse learning needs of our students. For instance, laminated symbol cards have been particularly beneficial for our students with special needs, as they provide tactile and visual support for communication and learning. Additionally, the ability to laminate classroom supplies has promoted sustainability and cost-effectiveness, ensuring that these resources can be used repeatedly, benefiting both the students and the environment.

    Our newly laminated materials have sparked excitement among our students, especially those with special learning requirements. The durability and vibrant appearance of the laminated materials have captured their attention and increased their engagement in the learning process. Students have expressed enthusiasm for the tactile experience of using laminated cards and symbols, which has facilitated their understanding of various concepts and enhanced their communication skills and allowed nonverbal students to express their choices and opinions.

    Having laminated charts, choice boards, center board, schedules, rules, emotion cards, problem solving steps, self-regulation cards, has allowed our students have to demonstrate improved attention, comprehension, and retention of educational content, showcasing the positive impact of these materials on their learning experience.

    Once again, I extend my deepest appreciation for your generous support. Your contribution has empowered us to create an inclusive and dynamic learning environment for our students, and we are immensely grateful for your kindness and dedication to our classroom community.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Dunphy
