Make Learning Last!

Help me give my students more creative and make longer lasting activities for small group and center time. I spend several dollars on laminating activities for centers, small groups, and crafts for the classroom.

My Students

We are located in St. Louis in an area of poverty, but we are part of a relatively decent size school system. My 15 students are three and four years old coming from various backgrounds. They are learning to be part of a classroom community. They have made many new friends and are gaining valuable educational experiences. For many of my students, this is their first school experience. My students are eager to learn and are very inquisitive. To help them academically I’m requesting a few items that will assist in the learning.

My Project

My students and team need a laminating machine and laminating film to protect their work.

Do you know how frustrating it is to create beautiful work that cannot be laminate?

My students do! Or to spend hours planning lessons and making charts that cannot be re-used? I do!

I have so many fun and exciting center ideas that I purchase for my students. Unfortunately a lot of the items are not durable so I am not able to reuse the items as often. I am also able to help keep the students work and help them create lasting (keepsake) projects. Thank you for your consideration!
