I don’t know why this didn’t occur to me until now, but a great way to save money on printing rhythm drills and Rhythm Menagerie would be to print them on card stock and then laminate them! Then, students cold write on them as needed, give them back with they are through, and you could easily wipe them off and give to another student.
Of course, the down side of this is that students wouldn’t be able to keep the beautiful Rhythm Menagerie pages (what student wants to keep the boring black and white rhythm drills anyway?). But, you could laminate all of the pages besides the Fun with Sounds pages (the ones with the animals on them) and then students could keep their Fun with Sounds animals and certificates.
I am blessed to have a teacher resource center close to where I live so that I can laminate cheaply. But, if I were going to buy a laminator, this Scotch laminator has been recommended to me a number of times and has high reviews on Amazon.
Here are the laminating pouches you’ll need to laminate 8.5 x 11 papers.
Great idea about laminating. I just want to ask, is anyone else struggling to get their chapters printed individually? I have a brand new computer and it is refusing to print the selected pages. Any top tips? (I haven’t had this issue previously)
