The perfect tool for making printables more durable. I love printing centers on card stock and then laminating them. I also love printing anything that I want parents to hold onto on card stock.
Speaking of making things more durable, having my handy dandy personal sized laminator ready to go is a must! I can’t tell you how many times I have to laminate something in a pinch and someone has jammed the machine or there’s no more lamination left and the office has to order it. Having the type of personality that I do, that just doesn’t work….when I want to laminate…I MUST LAMINATE. I personally use the Scotch Thermal Laminator and it works beautifully! I also came across these laminating pouches that are significantly cheaper than other brands and work just as good, if not better!
Don’t feel like laminating? No problem, grab some dry erase pouches and you essentially have the same concept. I love to put small group warm up activities in these and let them just use them over and over until they master the skill. It also eliminates standing at the copy machine for hours upon hours.
Lastly, grab yourself a paper tray. I love to sort my weekly worksheets in these. It makes my day super easy as I just grab the “daily” stack and I’m good to go. It also makes for great organization when you have to call out sick and it was unplanned. Everything your substitute will need will be in the daily slot.
Do you think these things would be put to good use in your classroom? Here’s your shopping list with links to Amazon:
