Make It Last Forever...and Ever!

Help me give my students a new laminator, trimmer and the materials that go with it. We need durable materials in our elementary school. We use visuals for everything and want them to last!

My Project

The teachers at my school are always spending so much time on items and charts for their students. Although some items need to be created yearly, many materials can be reused - saving money and time. We have anchor charts, artwork, and student work that could be laminated to protect them from damage. It would be great to see our materials last. The visuals are great, but they eventually wear. If I was able to laminate the work, it would last even longer. I like to laminate some of the children's work so they can take it home and practice and share it with their families.

We no longer have a school laminator, and many of the projects that are created for the students to access their learning are being damaged or discarded throughout weekly lessons rather than being saved.

The addition of a paper cutter will help me in creating hands-on activities while spending less time on the preparation of the materials. The cardstock, hole puncher, and rings can be used to create individual learning opportunities that my students can practice at home.
