@rachel_ivins: Teacher tip: I always laminate my classroom decor to make it more durable, HOWEVER it makes it more difficult to see from certain angles from the shine. This teacher hack uses clear, matte spray paint to take away the shine! Total game changer when setting up your classroom 🙌🏼🩷 Have you tried this before?🤩 #teacher #teachertip #teacherhacks #teachertiktok #teachertok #teachersoftiktok #firstyearteacher #classroom #classroomsetup #classroomdecor
this is one of those things that seems obvious when you see it but would never think of on your own in a million years 😭

People saying don’t laminate clearly don’t work in a classroom where you need resources to last years on end. Would you rather waste paper? Think about it.

Please research how bad laminating is for the planet.. it takes hundreds of years to decompose. If it’s not being used physically, it’s fine to be on walls without being laminated.

This is actually really great. I’ve never seen any teacher do this before. there was a time where a teacher yelled at me ”Read the poster” and I literally couldn’t see it from where I was sitting.

Things that just go up on a wall and stay there, like an alphabet, chart don't even need laminating. It's not getting used by the kids so it doesn't have to be durable.

You can’t win with anyone!! Laminate, don’t laminate, she literally said to make it easier for the kids to read. I people saying it’s creating more plastic don’t recycle and generate more in a daily basis. Everyone just mind your own business
