Recycling Lamination

Laurie Staley, a kindergarten teacher at Central Elementary School in Olathe, Kansas

Used laminating film makes great overhead sheets. I simply go into a copy store and inform them that I am a teacher looking for used lamination. They can usually find some pieces in their trash that I cut into 8.5 x 11-inch sheets. I use smaller pieces for letters, numbers, dice, dominos, and playing cards. The lamination is thick and sturdy. Best of all, I am recycling.
