Classroom Laminator for Centers
Start with the main guide: Classroom Laminating Machine Guide for Teachers.
Centers are one of the best reasons for teachers to laminate. Direction cards, sorting mats, labels, response boards and vocabulary pieces get handled repeatedly by small groups.
A good classroom laminating routine protects the pieces students touch most, while avoiding waste on pages that will only be used once.
Use 3 mil pouches for flexible direction sheets and 5 mil pouches for center cards that need extra structure. Leave a clear sealed edge around cut pieces.
