With a Laminating Machine, We Can Keep Our Work Forever!

Help me give my students a laminating machine and laminating pouches so they can keep their work forever and so I can laminate construction paper so they can practice their writing skills using dry erase markers.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My classroom is a Preschool Collaborative Class (PCC) which means it's an inclusive classroom, where 10% of my students are special education students, and 90% of my students are general education students.

What makes my students special, is that they all work together and learn from each other and no one can tell who receives special education and who is in general education.

The laminating machine will benefit my students because I can laminate their work samples and keep them as a reminder of how much progress they are making in my class. They can also used laminated sentence strips or paper to practice their writing skills using dry erase markers. I can also send work home and have my students' families help their child at home and then send it back to school with their child once it is completed.
