My students strive for independence and long to learn new techniques that they can use in their day to day lives. The chair back buddies, mailbox unit and paint materials will teach my students more about taking care of their personal items, school items, and help them establish more self care independence. Expression through art is a technique that my classroom highly embraces, these paint materials will open yet another avenue for my students to better express themselves. The organization and use of the paint will allow my students to, again, take care of classroom tools and allow them to better utilize the painting tools given.
