More Independent and Organized

Help me give my students an opportunity to keep supplies organized in color coded drawers so they can be more independent on getting their own supplies. More hands on and visual to act

My Project

What do I love about my students. Absolutely everything. They may all have special needs, but you cannot tell on how smart, funny they are. My goals for this project is to be able to have an organization system so they can become more independent on getting their own supplies for activities. What makes my students special; well just themselves. They have to work harder to understand the world but it doesn't slow them down.

Each of these items will also help my students have a more visual and hands on approach to activities that we are doing.
