When I download materials, the instructions often say to print, cut out, and glue to index cards. It is easier, if your printer will do it, to print directly onto card stock. Then all you have to do is cut apart and laminate. Card stock is a great tool because the materials are so much sturdier. Most of the games that are designed to be glued in to a file folder I just put on the copier and copyright onto the folder. Again, much more durable, and you don't have to worry about things coming unglued (especially since we have enough
trouble just keeping ourselves together at times!).
Many of my materials are laminated because they can be wiped down easily. When children come to school with runny noses, coughs, and (pick your germ), it makes me feel better to be able to do a little sanitation control. If I buy a deck of vocabulary cards or alphabet cards from a local retailer, I almost always laminate those. Small
books have their stables removed, pages laminated, then get re-assembled. Most schools have a stapler that will do larger papers or book type documents. You can also just cut the books apart then use
comb binders to re-assemble once they are laminated. Both ways work well.
