I have only just begun to use my Scotch Laminator and to be honest, I'm wondering what I have been doing wrong all this time?  Up until a few years ago, I had a laminator and then like so many other things in a teacher's life, it was loaned to a co-worker and never returned.  Since then I have relied on the media specialist to do laminating for me.  After this week though, I see that I will be using her a lot less often.  Already, I have laminated several sound mats, a few main idea games, and I look forward to creating some new labels for the baskets in my room.  This laminator is so lightweight that it is easy to put anywhere.  Did I mention that it is quick too?  This may be my new favorite thing! I am grateful to have received this for free, but I would be rating this with 5 stars regardless.
